memfd: export alloc_file()
Patch series "mm: memfd_luo hotfixes".
This series contains a couple of fixes for memfd preservation using LUO.
This patch (of 3):
The Live Update Orchestrator's (LUO) memfd preservation works by
preserving all the folios of a memfd, re-creating an empty memfd on the
next boot, and then inserting back the preserved folios.
Currently it creates the file by directly calling shmem_file_setup().
This leaves out other work done by alloc_file() like setting up the file
mode, flags, or calling the security hooks.
Export alloc_file() to let memfd_luo use it. Rename it to
memfd_alloc_file() since it is no longer private and thus needs a
subsystem prefix.
