Subject: [PATCH v1 0/2] Cleanup for memfd_create()

memfd_create() handles all of its logic in a single function. Some of
the logic in the function is also somewhat contrived (i.e. copying the
memfd name from userpace).

This series aims to cleanup memfd_create() by splitting out the logic
into helper functions, and simplifying the memfd name copying to make
the code easier to follow.

This has no intended functional changes.

Isaac J. Manjarres (2):
  mm/memfd: Refactor and cleanup the logic in memfd_create()
  mm/memfd: Use strncpy_from_user() to read memfd name
