[libvirt] [PATCH 5/5] qemu: Use memory-backing-file only when needed

We are using memory-backing-file even when it's not needed, for example if user requests hugepages for mamory backing, but does not specify any pagesize, neither memory node pinning. This causes migrations to fail when migrating from older libvirt that did not do this. So similarly to commit 7832fac84741d65e851dbdbfaf474785cbfdcf3c which does it for memory-backend-ram, this commit makes is more generic and backend-agnostic, so the backend is not used if there is no specific pagesize of hugepages requested, no nodeset the memory node should be bound to, no memory access change required, and so on.
