libvhost-user will panic when receiving VHOST_USER_GET_INFLIGHT_FD
message if MFD_ALLOW_SEALING is not defined, since it's not able
to create a memfd.
VHOST_USER_GET_INFLIGHT_FD is used only if
VHOST_USER_PROTOCOL_F_INFLIGHT_SHMFD is negotiated. So, let's mask
that feature if the backend is not able to properly handle these
messages.
