vhost: Rework memslot filtering and fix "used_memslot" tracking

Having multiple vhost devices, some filtering out fd-less memslots and
some not, can mess up the "used_memslot" accounting. Consequently our
"free memslot" checks become unreliable and we might run out of free
memslots at runtime later.

An example sequence which can trigger a potential issue that involves
different vhost backends (vhost-kernel and vhost-user) and hotplugged
memory devices can be found at [1].

Let's make the filtering mechanism less generic and distinguish between
backends that support private memslots (without a fd) and ones that only
support shared memslots (with a fd). Track the used_memslots for both
cases separately and use the corresponding value when required.

Note: Most probably we should filter out MAP_PRIVATE fd-based RAM regions
(for example, via memory-backend-memfd,...,shared=off or as default with
 memory-backend-file) as well. When not using MAP_SHARED, it might not work
as expected. Add a TODO for now.
