[v6,1/6] mm/memfd: add F_SEAL_EXEC

Commit Message

From: Daniel Verkamp <[e-mail]>

The new F_SEAL_EXEC flag will prevent modification of the exec bits:
written as traditional octal mask, 0111, or as named flags, S_IXUSR |
S_IXGRP | S_IXOTH. Any chmod(2) or similar call that attempts to modify
any of these bits after the seal is applied will fail with errno EPERM.

This will preserve the execute bits as they are at the time of sealing,
so the memfd will become either permanently executable or permanently
un-executable.

This patch is unchanged, so please carry forward any review/ack/tested
