Fuad Tabba 923310be23 KVM: Rename kvm_slot_can_be_private() to kvm_slot_has_gmem()
Rename kvm_slot_can_be_private() to kvm_slot_has_gmem() to improve
clarity and accurately reflect its purpose.

The function kvm_slot_can_be_private() was previously used to check if a
given kvm_memory_slot is backed by guest_memfd. However, its name
implied that the memory in such a slot was exclusively "private".

As guest_memfd support expands to include non-private memory (e.g.,
shared host mappings), it's important to remove this association. The
new name, kvm_slot_has_gmem(), states that the slot is backed by
guest_memfd without making assumptions about the memory's privacy
attributes.
