Subject: [PATCH] hugetlbfs: enforce F_SEAL_EXEC in setattr

F_SEAL_EXEC is enforced by shmem_setattr(), but hugetlbfs_setattr() does
not check it. As a result, fchmod() can change the execute bits of a
sealed hugetlbfs memfd.

Use memfd_check_seals_mode() in hugetlbfs_setattr() to reject changes
to execute bits when F_SEAL_EXEC is set.

This also fixes the memfd_test hugetlbfs SEAL-EXEC subtest, where
fchmod() incorrectly succeeded after applying F_SEAL_EXEC.

Fixes: 6fd7353829ca ("mm/memfd: add F_SEAL_EXEC")
