Add a dedicated gmem_inode structure and a 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. Using a dedicated structure will also allow for additional cleanups, e.g. to track flags in gmem_inode instead of i_private.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
