Rename kvm_x86_ops.private_max_mapping_level() to .gmem_max_mapping_level()
in anticipation of extending guest_memfd support to non-private memory.

No functional change intended.

nit: remove my "Signed-off-by", since I'm not a co-developer, and instead:

The patch went "through your hands", right? In that case, a SOB is the right thing to do.

"The Signed-off-by: tag indicates that the signer was involved in the
development of the patch, or that he/she was in the patch's delivery path."
