But afaict we also have other places using the static way, I hope we can
still keep them the same.

I'm also fine if you like to allocate it, but in that case please free it
even if used only once - we're already at it, no good reason to explicitly
leak it. Let's just assume if userfaultfd_stress() can succeed it can be
called 100000.. times without leaking anything.
