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 memory backing, but does not specify any pagesize or 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.

LibVirt : simple API for virtualization Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.

Description
Libvirt provides a portable, long term stable C API for managing the
virtualization technologies provided by many operating systems. It
includes support for QEMU, KVM, Xen, LXC, bhyve, Virtuozzo, VMware
vCenter and ESX, VMware Desktop, Hyper-V, VirtualBox and the POWER
Hypervisor.
