Lorenzo Stoakes a8efadda86 tools/testing/selftests: fix guard region test tmpfs assumption
The current implementation of the guard region tests assume that /tmp is
mounted as tmpfs, that is shmem.

This isn't always the case, and at least one instance of a spurious test
failure has been reported as a result.

This assumption is unsafe, rushed and silly - and easily remedied by
simply using memfd, so do so.

We also have to fixup the readonly_file test to explicitly only be
applicable to file-backed cases.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
