LTP syscalls memfd_create04 failed on arm64 devices.
Test PASS on arm, i386 and x86_64.

We are bisecting this failure on arm64.

Test case failed log,
memfd_create04.c:68: INFO: Attempt to create file using 64kB huge page size
memfd_create04.c:76: FAIL: memfd_create() failed unexpectedly: ENOENT (2)

Strace output:
memfd_create(\"tfile\", MFD_HUGETLB|0x40000000) = -1 ENOENT (No such
file or directory)

Test case Description,

/*
* Test: Validating memfd_create() with MFD_HUGETLB and MFD_HUGE_x flags.
*
* Test cases: Attempt to create files in the hugetlbfs filesystem using
* different huge page sizes.
*
* Test logic: memfd_create() should return non-negative value (fd)
* if the system supports that particular huge page size.
* On success, fd is returned.
* On failure, -1 is returned with ENODEV error.
*/

Test code snippet:
<>
check_hugepage_support(&tflag);
tst_res(TINFO,
"Attempt to create file using %s huge page size",
tflag.h_size);

fd = sys_memfd_create("tfile", MFD_HUGETLB | tflag.flag);
if (fd < 0) {
if (errno == tflag.exp_err)
tst_res(TPASS, "Test failed as expected\n");
else
tst_brk(TFAIL | TERRNO,
"memfd_create() failed unexpectedly");
return;
}
<>

Steps to reproduce:
          - cd /opt/ltp/testcases/bin/
          - ./memfd_create04
