mm/memfd: add MFD_NOEXEC_SEAL and MFD_EXEC

The new MFD_NOEXEC_SEAL and MFD_EXEC flags allows application to set
executable bit at creation time (memfd_create).

When MFD_NOEXEC_SEAL is set, memfd is created without executable bit
(mode:0666), and sealed with F_SEAL_EXEC, so it can't be chmod to be
executable (mode: 0777) after creation.

when MFD_EXEC flag is set, memfd is created with executable bit
(mode:0777), this is the same as the old behavior of memfd_create.

The new pid namespaced sysctl vm.memfd_noexec has 3 values:
0: memfd_create() without MFD_EXEC nor MFD_NOEXEC_SEAL acts like
        MFD_EXEC was set.
1: memfd_create() without MFD_EXEC nor MFD_NOEXEC_SEAL acts like
        MFD_NOEXEC_SEAL was set.
2: memfd_create() without MFD_NOEXEC_SEAL will be rejected.

The sysctl allows finer control of memfd_create for old-software that
doesn't set the executable bit, for example, a container with
vm.memfd_noexec=1 means the old-software will create non-executable memfd
by default.  Also, the value of memfd_noexec is passed to child namespace
at creation time.  For example, if the init namespace has
vm.memfd_noexec=2, all its children namespaces will be created with 2.
