Subject: [PATCH 6/7] Allow users to require UFFD_SECURE

This change adds 2 as an allowable value for
unprivileged_userfaultfd. (Previously, this sysctl could be either 0
or 1.) When unprivileged_userfaultfd is 2, users with CAP_SYS_PTRACE
may create userfaultfd with or without UFFD_SECURE, but users without
CAP_SYS_PTRACE must pass UFFD_SECURE to userfaultfd in order for the
system call to succeed, effectively forcing them to opt into
additional security checks.

 This flag controls whether unprivileged users can use the userfaultfd
