Make sense. kvm_arch_has_private_mem it actually better.

This makes sense.

Currently this should work.

If we plan to widely use such abbr. through KVM (e.g. it's well known),
I'm fine.
I actually use mem_attr in patch: https://lkml.org/lkml/2022/7/20/610
But I also don't quite like it, it's so generic and sounds say nothing.
But I do want a name can cover future usages other than just
private/shared (pKVM for example may have a third state).
Thanks,
Chao
