[PATCH v3 1/2] mm/memfd: Refactor and cleanup the logic in memfd_create()

["Isaac J. Manjarres" <isaacmanjarres@google.com>]

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.
