Since commit cefdca0a86be ("userfaultfd/sysctl: add vm.unprivileged_userfaultfd").
, it adds a global sysctl knob "vm.unprivileged_userfaultfd" to control whether
unprivileged users can use the userfaultfd system calls. Set this to 1 to allow
unprivileged users to use the userfaultfd system calls, or set this to 0 to
restrict userfaultfd to only privileged users (with SYS_CAP_PTRACE capability). The
default value is 1. Add hint about it.
