This is mainly a preparatory patch to use memfd_pin_folios() API for pinning folios. Using folios instead of pages makes sense as the udmabuf driver needs to handle both shmem and hugetlb cases. And, using the memfd_pin_folios() API makes this easier as we no longer need to separately handle shmem vs hugetlb cases in the udmabuf driver. Note that, the function vmap_udmabuf() still needs a list of pages; so, we collect all the head pages into a local array in this case. Other changes in this patch include the addition of helpers for checking the memfd seals and exporting dmabuf. Moving code from udmabuf_create() into these helpers improves readability given that udmabuf_create() is a bit long.

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 reStructuredText 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.
