Rename the "kvm_gmem" structure to "gmem_file" in anticipation of using dedicated guest_memfd inodes instead of anonyomous inodes, at which point the "kvm_gmem" nomenclature becomes quite misleading. In guest_memfd, inodes are effectively the raw underlying physical storage, and will be used to track properties of the physical memory, while each gmem file is effectively a single VM's view of that storage, and is used to track assets specific to its associated VM, e.g. memslots=>gmem bindings. Using "kvm_gmem" suggests that the per-VM/per-file structures are _the_ guest_memfd instance, which almost the exact opposite of reality. Opportunistically rename local variables from "gmem" to "f", again to avoid confusion once guest_memfd specific inodes come along. No functional change intended.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
