KVM: Rename CONFIG_KVM_GENERIC_PRIVATE_MEM to CONFIG_HAVE_KVM_ARCH_GMEM_POPULATE
The original name was vague regarding its functionality. This Kconfig option specifically enables and gates the kvm_gmem_populate() function, which is responsible for populating a GPA range with guest data. The new name, HAVE_KVM_ARCH_GMEM_POPULATE, describes the purpose of the option: to enable arch-specific guest_memfd population mechanisms. It also follows the same pattern as the other HAVE_KVM_ARCH_* configuration options. This improves clarity for developers and ensures the name accurately reflects the functionality it controls, especially as guest_memfd support expands beyond purely "private" memory scenarios. Temporarily keep KVM_GENERIC_PRIVATE_MEM as an x86-only config so as to minimize churn, and to hopefully make it easier to see what features require HAVE_KVM_ARCH_GMEM_POPULATE. On that note, omit GMEM_POPULATE for KVM_X86_SW_PROTECTED_VM, as regular ol' memset() suffices for software-protected VMs. As for KVM_GENERIC_PRIVATE_MEM, a future change will select KVM_GUEST_MEMFD for all 64-bit KVM builds, at which point the intermediate config will become obsolete and can/will be dropped.
