vfio/nvgrace-gpu: Convey kvm to map device memory region as noncached

The NVIDIA Grace Hopper GPUs have device memory that is supposed to be
used as a regular RAM. It is accessible through CPU-GPU chip-to-chip
cache coherent interconnect and is present in the system physical
address space. The device memory is split into two regions - termed
as usemem and resmem - in the system physical address space,
with each region mapped and exposed to the VM as a separate fake
device BAR [1].

Owing to a hardware defect for Multi-Instance GPU (MIG) feature [2],
there is a requirement - as a workaround - for the resmem BAR to
display uncached memory characteristics. Based on [3], on system with
FWB enabled such as Grace Hopper, the requisite properties
(uncached, unaligned access) can be achieved through a VM mapping (S1)
of NORMAL_NC and host mapping (S2) of MT_S2_FWB_NORMAL_NC.

KVM currently maps the MMIO region in S2 as MT_S2_FWB_DEVICE_nGnRE by
default. The fake device BARs thus displays DEVICE_nGnRE behavior in the
VM.

The following table summarizes the behavior for the various S1 and S2
mapping combinations for systems with FWB enabled [3].
S1           |  S2           | Result
NORMAL_NC    |  NORMAL_NC    | NORMAL_NC
NORMAL_NC    |  DEVICE_nGnRE | DEVICE_nGnRE

Recently a change was added that modifies this default behavior and
make KVM map MMIO as MT_S2_FWB_NORMAL_NC when a VMA flag
VM_ALLOW_ANY_UNCACHED is set [4]. Setting S2 as MT_S2_FWB_NORMAL_NC
provides the desired behavior (uncached, unaligned access) for resmem.

To use VM_ALLOW_ANY_UNCACHED flag, the platform must guarantee that
no action taken on the MMIO mapping can trigger an uncontained
failure. The Grace Hopper satisfies this requirement. So set
the VM_ALLOW_ANY_UNCACHED flag in the VMA.

Applied over next-20240227.
