For certain paths in /proc, the open syscall is intercepted and the
returned file descriptor points to a temporary file with emulated
contents.
If TMPDIR is not accessible or writable for the current user (for
example in a read-only mounted chroot or container) tools such as ps
from procps may fail unexpectedly. Trying to read one of these paths
such as /proc/self/stat would return an error such as ENOENT or EROFS.
To relax the requirement on a writable TMPDIR, use memfd_create()
instead to create an anonymous file and return its file descriptor.

v2: no more #ifdefs, use stub from util/memfd.c with ENOSYS fallback,
tested with 'strace -e fault=memfd_create'
