This should have a NEWS entry. (I have not otherwise reviewed the patch,
but support the general principle of adding bindings for non-obsolete

appropriate for the OS-independent GNU API with a generic ENOSYS version.)

* glibc now provides the <sys/memfd.h> header file and the memfd_create
system call.
