Sean Christopherson 0bb4d9c39b KVM: guest_memfd: Define a CLASS to get+put guest_memfd file from a memslot
Add a CLASS to handle getting and putting a guest_memfd file given a
memslot to reduce the amount of related boilerplate, and more importantly
to minimize the chances of forgetting to put the file (thankfully the bug
that prompted this didn't escape initial testing).

Define a CLASS instead of using __free(fput) as _free() comes with subtle
caveats related to FILO ordering (objects are freed in the order in which
they are declared), and the recommended solution/workaround (declare file
pointers exactly when they are initialized) is visually jarring relative
to KVM's (and the kernel's) overall strict adherence to not mixing
declarations and code.  E.g. the use in kvm_gmem_populate() would be:

	slot = gfn_to_memslot(kvm, start_gfn);
	if (!kvm_slot_has_gmem(slot))
		return -EINVAL;

	struct file *file __free(fput) = kvm_gmem_get_file(slot;
	if (!file)
		return -EFAULT;

	filemap_invalidate_lock(file->f_mapping);

Note, using CLASS() still declares variables in the middle of code, but
the syntactic sugar obfuscates the declaration, i.e. hides the anomaly to
a large extent.

No functional change intended.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
