Hi,

This small patch series makes guest_memfd use guest mem inodes instead
of anonymous inodes and also includes some refactoring to expose a new
function that allocates an inode and runs security checks.

This patch series will serve as a common base for some in-flight series:

* Add NUMA mempolicy support for KVM guest-memfd [1]
* New KVM ioctl to link a gmem inode to a new gmem file [2]
* Restricted mapping of guest_memfd at the host and arm64 support [3]
  aka shared/private conversion support for guest_memfd
