Subject: [RFC PATCH v8 5/7] KVM: guest_memfd: Add slab-allocated inode cache

Add dedicated inode structure (kvm_gmem_inode_info) and 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.
