[Qemu-devel] [PULL 14/38] util: add fallback for qemu_memfd_alloc()

["Michael S. Tsirkin" <mst@redhat.com>]

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

Add an open/unlink/mmap fallback for system that do not support
memfd (only available since 3.17, ~1y ago).

This patch may require additional SELinux policies to work for enforced
systems, but should fail gracefully in this case.
