Obviously Jann can indicate whether he feels this needs work or not, but I
believe we resolved the issues raised?

Mostly concerns around expected behaviour for these operations _in general_
and whether mmap-read'ing memfd write sealed mappings make sense, however
it's by the by, we accidentally regressed user-facing behaviour and so
should restore it.

I also feel I made a case for why it is in fact sane and useful to be able
to mmap memfd-write-sealed mappings :)

But of course - Jann can indicate whether he is happy with this or whether
it needs work, as usual his input is excellent and highly appreciated so
Jann - if you have any remaining concerns - please let me know.

Thanks!
