Subject: [PATCH v2 15/15] selftests/nolibc: vfprintf: remove MEMFD_CREATE dependency

The vfprintf test case require to open a temporary file to write, the
old memfd_create() method is perfect but has strong dependency on
MEMFD_CREATE and also TMPFS or HUGETLBFS (see fs/Kconfig):

    config MEMFD_CREATE
	def_bool TMPFS || HUGETLBFS

And from v6.2, MFD_NOEXEC_SEAL must be passed for the non-executable
memfd, otherwise, The kernel warning will be output to the test result
like this:

        Running test 'vfprintf'
        0 emptymemfd_create() without MFD_EXEC nor MFD_NOEXEC_SEAL, pid=1 'init'
         "" = ""                                                  [OK]

To avoid such warning and also to remove the MEMFD_CREATE dependency,
let's open a file from tmpfs directly.

The /tmp directory is used to detect the existing of tmpfs, if not
there, skip instead of fail.

And further, for pid == 1, the initramfs is loaded as ramfs, which can
be used as tmpfs, so, it is able to further remove TMPFS dependency too.
