mm/memfd: add write seals when apply SEAL_EXEC to executable memfd



In order to avoid WX mappings, add F_SEAL_WRITE when apply F_SEAL_EXEC to
an executable memfd, so W^X from start.

This implys application need to fill the content of the memfd first, after
F_SEAL_EXEC is applied, application can no longer modify the content of
the memfd.

Typically, application seals the memfd right after writing to it.
For example:
1. memfd_create(MFD_EXEC).
2. write() code to the memfd.
3. fcntl(F_ADD_SEALS, F_SEAL_EXEC) to convert the memfd to W^X.
4. call exec() on the memfd.
