hugetlbfs: add O_TMPFILE support
With hugetlbfs, a common pattern for mapping anonymous huge pages is to create a temporary file first. Currently libraries like libhugetlbfs and seastar create these with a standard mkstemp+unlink trick, but it would be more robust to be able to simply pass the O_TMPFILE flag to open(). O_TMPFILE is already supported by several file systems like ext4 and xfs. The implementation simply uses the existi= ng d_tmpfile utility function to instantiate the dcache entry for the file. Tested manually by successfully creating a temporary file by opening it with (O_TMPFILE|O_RDWR) on mounted hugetlbfs and successfully mapping 2M huge pages with it. Without the patch, trying to open a file with O_TMPFILE results in -ENOSUP.
