KVM: guest_memfd: Add slab-allocated inode cache

Add a dedicated gmem_inode structure and a slab-allocated inode cache for
guest memory backing, similar to how shmem handles inodes.

This adds the necessary allocation/destruction functions and prepares
for upcoming guest_memfd NUMA policy support changes.  Using a dedicated
structure will also allow for additional cleanups, e.g. to track flags in
gmem_inode instead of i_private.
