Running command 'kexec -p /path/to/crash-kernel --reuse-cmdline' will
give out the following warning:

  kexec[970]: memfd_create() called without MFD_EXEC or MFD_NOEXEC_SEAL set

Add MFD_NOEXEC_SEAL explicitly to avoid such warning.

+Subject: [PATCH] kexec.c: add MFD_NOEXEC_SEAL flag explicitly
+
+Add MFD_NOEXEC_SEAL to avoid kernel warning like below:
+
+  kexec[970]: memfd_create() called without MFD_EXEC or MFD_NOEXEC_SEAL set
+
+As the above two flags are only available in newer kernels, ideally
+we need to do some fallback. But we know for sure that OE scarthgap/master
+is using >6.6 kernel, so we don't need to do such fallback.
+
+Upstream-Status: Inappropriate [OE Specific]
