Subject: [RFC PATCH 1/1] mm/shmem: add hugetlbfs support to memfd_create()

Add a new flag MFD_HUGETLB to memfd_create() that will specify the
file to be created resides in the hugetlbfs filesystem.  This is
the generic hugetlbfs filesystem not associated with any specific
mount point.  As with other system calls that request hugetlbfs
backed pages, there is the ability to encode huge page size in the
flag arguments.

hugetlbfs does not support sealing operations, therefore specifying
MFD_ALLOW_SEALING with MFD_HUGETLB will result in EINVAL.
