Disallow creating read-only memslots that support GUEST_MEMFD, as GUEST_MEMFD is fundamentally incompatible with KVM's semantics for read-only memslots. Read-only memslots allow the userspace VMM to emulate option ROMs by filling the backing memory with readable, executable code and data, while triggering emulated MMIO on writes. GUEST_MEMFD doesn't currently support writes from userspace and KVM doesn't support emulated MMIO on private accesses, i.e. the guest can only ever read zeros, and writes will always be treated as errors.
