[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v2 2/9] posix: add linux-only memfd fallback

["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.
