Various subsystems might need to take some steps before the KVM file descriptor
for a virtual machine is changed. So a new boolean attribute is added to the
vmfd_notifier structure which is passed to the notifier callbacks.
vmfd_notifer.pre is true for pre-notification of vmfd change and false for
post notification. Notifier callback implementations can simply check
the boolean value for (vmfd_notifer*)->pre and can take actions for pre or
post vmfd change based on the value.

Subsequent patches will add callback implementations for specific components
that need this pre-notification.
