mm/memfd: refactor and cleanup the logic in memfd_create()

Patch series "Cleanup for memfd_create()", v4.

memfd_create() handles all of its logic in a single function.  Some of the
logic in the function is also somewhat contrived (i.e.  copying the memfd
name from userpace).

This series aims to cleanup memfd_create() by splitting out the logic into
helper functions, and simplifying the memfd name copying to make the code
easier to follow.

This has no intended functional changes.

Thank you Alice and Lorenzo for reviewing v3 of this series and for your
feedback!


This patch (of 2):

memfd_create() is a pretty busy function that could be easier to read if
some of the logic was split out into helper functions.

Therefore, split the flags sanitization, name allocation, and file
structure allocation into their own helper functions.

No functional change.
