[v6,04/24] util: add linux-only memfd fallback

From: Marc-André Lureau <marcandre.lureau@redhat.com>

Implement memfd_create() fallback if not available in system libc.
memfd_create() is still not included in glibc today, atlhough it's been
available since Linux 3.17 in Oct 2014.

memfd has numerous advantages over traditional shm/mmap for ipc memory
sharing with fd handler, which we are going to make use of for
vhost-user logging memory in following patches.

So the file is empty if CONFIG_MEMFD is set?
It would be more elegant to avoid linking it in.
Can be a patch on top.

It's not empty in the following commits, with the helpers introduced
