mm: memfd_luo: use memfd_alloc_file() instead of shmem_file_setup()

When restoring a memfd, the file is created using shmem_file_setup().
While memfd creation also calls this function to get the file, it also
does other things:

  1. The O_LARGEFILE flag is set on the file. If this is not done,
  writes on the memfd exceeding 2 GiB fail.

  2. FMODE_LSEEK, FMODE_PREAD, and FMODE_PWRITE are set on the file.
  This makes sure the file is seekable and can be used with pread() and
  pwrite().

  3. Initializes the security field for the inode and makes sure that
  inode creation is permitted by the security module.

Currently, none of those things are done.  This means writes above 2 GiB
fail, pread(), and pwrite() fail, and so on.  lseek() happens to work
because file_init_path() sets it because shmem defines fop->llseek.

Fix this by using memfd_alloc_file() to get the file to make sure the
initialization sequence for normal and preserved memfd is the same.
