[PATCH v6 3/8] mm/memfd: Introduce MFD_INACCESSIBLE flag

[Chao Peng <chao.p.peng@linux.intel.com>]

Introduce a new memfd_create() flag indicating the content of the
created memfd is inaccessible from userspace through ordinary MMU
access (e.g., read/write/mmap). However, the file content can be
accessed via a different mechanism (e.g. KVM MMU) indirectly.

It provides semantics required for KVM guest private memory support
that a file descriptor with this flag set is going to be used as the
source of guest memory in confidential computing environments such
as Intel TDX/AMD SEV but may not be accessible from host userspace.

The flag can not coexist with MFD_ALLOW_SEALING, future sealing is
also impossible for a memfd created with this flag.
