[PULL 3/3] linux-user: Use memfd for open syscall emulation

[Laurent Vivier <laurent@vivier.eu>]

From: Rainer Müller <raimue@codingfarm.de>

For certain paths in /proc, the open syscall is intercepted and the
returned file descriptor points to a temporary file with emulated
contents.

If TMPDIR is not accessible or writable for the current user (for
example in a read-only mounted chroot or container) tools such as ps
from procps may fail unexpectedly. Trying to read one of these paths
such as /proc/self/stat would return an error such as ENOENT or EROFS.

To relax the requirement on a writable TMPDIR, use memfd_create()
instead to create an anonymous file and return its file descriptor.
