[PATCH] qemu: Don't use memory-backend-memfd for NVDIMMs

If guest is configured to use memfd then the function that build
memory-backend-* part of command line will put
memory-backend-memfd, always. Even for NVDIMMs. This is not
correct, because NVDIMMs need a backing path (usually to a real
host NVDIMM device). Therefore, regardless of memfd being
requested, we have to stick with memory-backend-file.
