Rename the Kconfig option CONFIG_KVM_PRIVATE_MEM to CONFIG_KVM_GMEM. The
original name implied that the feature only supported "private" memory.
However, CONFIG_KVM_PRIVATE_MEM enables guest_memfd in general, which is
not exclusively for private memory. Subsequent patches in this series
will add guest_memfd support for non-CoCo VMs, whose memory is not
private.

Renaming the Kconfig option to CONFIG_KVM_GMEM more accurately reflects
its broader scope as the main Kconfig option for all guest_memfd-backed
memory. This provides clearer semantics for the option and avoids
confusion as new features are introduced.
