[Qemu-devel] [PATCH for-2.12] memfd: fix vhost-user-test on non-memfd capable host

["Marc-André Lureau" <marcandre.lureau@redhat.com>]

On RHEL7, memfd is not supported, and vhost-user-test fails:
TEST: tests/vhost-user-test... (pid=10248)
  /x86_64/vhost-user/migrate:
  qemu-system-x86_64: -object memory-backend-memfd,id=mem,size=2M,: failed to create memfd
FAIL

There is a qemu_memfd_check() to prevent running memfd path, but it
also checks for fallback implementation. Let's specialize
qemu_memfd_check() to check memfd only, while qemu_memfd_alloc_check()
checks for the qemu_memfd_alloc() API.
