Subject: [PATCH v3] mm/memfd: security hook for memfd_create

From: Jeff Xu <jeffxu@...omium.org>

The new security_memfd_create allows lsm to check flags of
memfd_create.

The security by default system (such as chromeos) can use this
to implement system wide lsm to allow only non-executable memfd
being created.
