Yes, according to
https://qa-reports.linaro.org/lkft/linux-mainline-oe/tests/ltp-syscalls-tests/memfd_create04
mainline has the same testcase failure, it started happening between
v5.4-10135-gc3bfc5dd73c6 and v5.4-10271-g596cf45cbf6e, when the patch
was originally merged into 5.5-rc1.

No idea what to conclude from the testcase failure, let's see if Mike has
any suggestions.
