I would have named this something like 'memfd_file_seal_ptr', and not
changed the name of memfd_get_seals below. Just my preference, and it
does not carry as much weight as Hugh who originally write this code.

As mentioned in patch 2, I think this code will need to be restructured
so that hugetlbfs file sealing will work even is CONFIG_TMPFS is not
defined. The above routine is behind #ifdef CONFIG_TMPFS.

In general the code looks fine, but this config issue needs to be addressed.
