Marc-André Lureau fa0cb34d22 hostmem: use object id for memory region name with >= 4.0
hostmem-file and hostmem-memfd use the whole object path for the
memory region name, and hostname-ram uses only the path component (the
object id, or canonical path basename):

qemu -m 1024 -object memory-backend-file,id=mem,size=1G,mem-path=/tmp/foo -numa node,memdev=mem -monitor stdio
(qemu) info ramblock
              Block Name    PSize              Offset               Used              Total
            /objects/mem    4 KiB  0x0000000000000000 0x0000000040000000 0x0000000040000000

qemu -m 1024 -object memory-backend-memfd,id=mem,size=1G -numa node,memdev=mem -monitor stdio
(qemu) info ramblock
              Block Name    PSize              Offset               Used              Total
            /objects/mem    4 KiB  0x0000000000000000 0x0000000040000000 0x0000000040000000

qemu -m 1024 -object memory-backend-ram,id=mem,size=1G -numa node,memdev=mem -monitor stdio
(qemu) info ramblock
              Block Name    PSize              Offset               Used              Total
                     mem    4 KiB  0x0000000000000000 0x0000000040000000 0x0000000040000000

For consistency, change to use object id for -file and -memfd as well
with >= 4.0.

Having a consistent naming allows to migrate to different hostmem
backends.

Marc-André Lureau 86100290cb hostmem: no need to check for host_memory_backend_mr_inited() in alloc()
memfd_backend_memory_alloc/file_backend_memory_alloc both needlessly
are are calling host_memory_backend_mr_inited() which creates an
illusion that alloc could be called multiple times but it isn't, it's
called once from UserCreatable complete().

The share=on/off property is used to modified mmap() MAP_SHARED
setting. Make it on by default for convenience and compatibility
reasons.

Marc-André Lureau 3829640049 hostmem-memfd: add checks before adding hostmem-memfd & properties
Run some memfd-related checks before registering hostmem-memfd &
various properties. This will help libvirt to figure out what the host
is supposed to be capable of.

qemu_memfd_check() is changed to a less optimized version, since it is
used with various flags, it no longer caches the result.

Marc-André Lureau dbb9e0f40d Add memfd based hostmem
Add a new memory backend, similar to hostmem-file, except that it
doesn't need to create files. It also enforces memory sealing.

This backend is mainly useful for sharing the memory with other
processes.

Note that Linux supports transparent huge-pages of shmem/memfd memory
since 4.8. It is relatively easier to set up THP than a dedicate
hugepage mount point by using "madvise" in
/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/shmem_enabled.

Since 4.14, memfd allows to set hugetlb requirement explicitly.

Pending for merge in 4.16 is memfd sealing support for hugetlb backed
memory.

Usage:
-object memory-backend-memfd,id=mem1,size=1G
