filemap users like guest_memfd may use page cache pages to
allocate/manage memory that is only intended to be accessed by guests
via hardware protections like encryption. Writes to memory of this sort
in common paths like truncation may cause unexpected behavior such
writing garbage instead of zeros when attempting to zero pages, or
worse, triggering hardware protections that are considered fatal as far
as the kernel is concerned.

Introduce a new address_space flag, AS_INACCESSIBLE, and use this
initially to prevent zero'ing of pages during truncation, with the
understanding that it is up to the owner of the mapping to handle this
specially if needed.
