KVM: Allow arch code to track number of memslot address spaces per VM
Let x86 track the number of address spaces on a per-VM basis so that KVM can disallow SMM memslots for confidential VMs. Confidentials VMs are fundamentally incompatible with emulating SMM, which as the name suggests requires being able to read and write guest memory and register state. Disallowing SMM will simplify support for guest private memory, as KVM will not need to worry about tracking memory attributes for multiple address spaces (SMM is the only "non-default" address space across all architectures).
