 From linux-next20241206 onward we started hitting issues where KVM 
guests running kernel > next20241206 on AMD platforms fails to shutdown, 
hangs forever with below errors:

[  OK  ] Reached target Late Shutdown Services.

Bisecting the issue pointed to this patch.

commit 0790303ec869d0fd658a548551972b51ced7390c

fsnotify: generate pre-content permission event on page fault

Same issue exists with todays linux-next build as well.

Adding below configs in the guest_config fixes the shutdown hang issue:

CONFIG_FANOTIFY=y
CONFIG_FANOTIFY_ACCESS_PERMISSIONS=y
