samples: kdbus: kdbus-workers: Define dummy prime_new()

[Chen Gang]

Quite a few of architures (e.g. blackfin, cris, frv ...) do not support
memfd_create system call which is used in prime_new(). So define a dummy
one.

The related error (with allmodconfig under blackfin):

    CC [M]  samples/kfifo/inttype-example.o

Don't paper over the issue, just wire up the system call on blackfin.

For an example see:

OK, thanks. I shall try to send patch v2 for it within this month.

As Richard said, please hook up these syscalls to those architectures.
Don't you want to use the feature there?  Why hasn't it been added yet?

thanks,

OK, thanks. I shall try to finish blackfin within this month. And try
the other archs within next month.

Thanks.
