Subject: userfaultfd: remove UFFD_CLOEXEC, UFFD_NONBLOCK, and UFFD_FLAGS_SET
Date: Sat, 07 Jun 2025 02:40:03 -0400

UFFD_CLOEXEC, UFFD_NONBLOCK, and UFFD_FLAGS_SET have been unused since
they were added in commit 932b18e0aec6 ("userfaultfd:
linux/userfaultfd_k.h").  Remove them and the associated BUILD_BUG_ON()
checks.
