From: Sean Christopherson <[email protected]>

Bury KVM_VM_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTES in x86 to discourage other architectures
from adding support for per-VM memory attributes, because tracking private
vs. shared memory on a per-VM basis is now deprecated in favor of tracking
on a per-guest_memfd basis, and while RWX memory attributes are on the
horizon, they too are expected to be x86-only.

This will also allow modifying KVM_VM_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTES to be
user-selectable (in x86) without creating weirdness in KVM's Kconfigs.
Now that guest_memfd supports in-place conversions, it's entirely possible
to run x86 CoCo VMs without support for KVM_VM_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTES.

Leave the code itself in common KVM so that it's trivial to undo this
change if new per-VM attributes do come along.
