Subject: [RFC PATCH v1 24/37] KVM: selftests: guest_memfd: Test precision of conversion

Enhance the guest_memfd indexing selftest to also verify the precision of
memory conversions between private and shared.

The existing test converted a single page within a multi-page mapping but
did not explicitly check the state of the surrounding pages after the
conversion loop.

Add checks to confirm that converting a single page from shared to private
only affects the target page. Iterate through all other pages in the
guest_memfd region to ensure they remain in their original shared state,
thus verifying that the conversion operation is precise and does not have
unintended side effects.
