I removed that check and compiled memfd_test.c by hand. This is the
following error which I get when I run the test:

$ ./memfd_test
memfd: CREATE
memfd: BASIC
10 != 0 = GET_SEALS(3)
Aborted

This is basically when checking the seals which we already added. It
should return 10 (F_SEAL_SHRINK | F_SEAL_WRITE), instead it is returning 0.

What else needs to be done for this to properly work? I see that for
m68k, you just wired it up like in this patch. Did it work after that?
