MEMFD_OPS is a weird Kconfig name given that it's not just memfd() that can
implement the ops.

This should be

   kvm-$(CONFIG_MEMFD_OPS) += $(KVM)/memfd.o

with stubs provided in a header file as needed.  I also really dislike naming KVM's
file memfd.c, though I don't have a good alternative off the top of my head.

memfd_ops needs to be associated with the slot, e.g. userspace should be able to
map multiple types of a backing stores into a single VM.  This doesn't even allow
that for multiple VMs, and there are all kinds of ordering issues.

Needs to actually unregister.
