From: Jeff Xu <jeffxu at google.com>

When sysctl vm.memfd_noexec is 2 (MEMFD_NOEXEC_SCOPE_NOEXEC_ENFORCED),
memfd_create(.., MFD_EXEC) should fail.

This complies with how MEMFD_NOEXEC_SCOPE_NOEXEC_ENFORCED is
defined - "memfd_create() without MFD_NOEXEC_SEAL will be rejected"

Thanks to Dominique Martinet <asmadeus at codewreck.org> who reported the bug.
see [1] for context.
