Instead of calling shmem's getattr() with path, we should be using the
the memfd's path.

Otherwise, shmem's getattr() will use restrictedmem's inode instead of
shmem's inode. The private fields will be of the wrong type, and the
host will crash when shmem_is_huge() does SHMEM_SB(inode->i_sb)->huge),
since inode->i_sb->s_fs_info is NULL for the restrictedmem's superblock.

Here's the patch:
