The idea of the helper is to use the best practices of using memfd: sealing,
and provide graceful feedback if not available. Without sealing, there isn't
much benefit over traditional open/mmap. If you want to use memfd differently,
for ex to enforce sealing, then the helper isn't of much use. F_ADD_SEALS
doesn't work on regular open/mmap shared memory, it was added with memfd afaik.
Since some kernel support memfd without sealing, I'll add a fallback for that
case.
