Subject: [PATCH v2 3/7] selftests: kselftest: Add memfd_create syscall compatibility

The memfd_create function and related MFD_* flags may not be available
in non-glibc C libraries. Some selftests use memfd_create for
memory backing operations.

Add fallback definitions for MFD_CLOEXEC and MFD_HUGETLB flags, and
provide a memfd_create wrapper.
