This is a preparatory commit. In the future, we want to be able to setup alias mappings for area_src and area_dst in the shmem test, like we do in the hugetlb_shared test. With a VMA obtained via mmap(MAP_ANONYMOUS | MAP_SHARED), it isn't clear how to do this. So, mmap() with an fd, so we can create alias mappings. Use memfd_create instead of actually passing in a tmpfs path like hugetlb does, since it's more convenient / simpler to run, and works just as well. Future commits will: 1. Setup the alias mappings. 2. Extend our tests to actually take advantage of this, to test new userfaultfd behavior being introduced in this series. Also, a small fix in the area we're changing: when the hugetlb setup fails in main(), pass in the right argv[] so we actually print out the hugetlb file path.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
