In 02/51, GUEST_MEMFD_FLAG_INIT_PRIVATE is not set by default,
GUEST_MEMFD_FLAG_INIT_PRIVATE is set as one of the valid_flags.

The intention is that GUEST_MEMFD_FLAG_INIT_PRIVATE is only valid if
GUEST_MEMFD_FLAG_SUPPORT_SHARED is requested by userspace.

In this test, the earlier part before the if block calls
test_vm_with_gmem_flag() all valid flags, and that already tests
GUEST_MEMFD_FLAG_SUPPORT_SHARED individually.

Specifically if GUEST_MEMFD_FLAG_SUPPORT_SHARED is set, this if block
adds a test for when both GUEST_MEMFD_FLAG_SUPPORT_SHARED and
GUEST_MEMFD_FLAG_INIT_PRIVATE are set, and sets that expect_valid is
true.

This second test doesn't fail, it is meant to check that the kernel
allows the pair of flags to be set. Hope that makes sense.
