mm/shmem: honour F_SEAL_EXEC when an ACL is set

The owner of a memfd sealed with F_SEAL_EXEC can still change its
execute bits by setting a POSIX access ACL. With CONFIG_TMPFS_POSIX_ACL,
this lets an unprivileged owner make a non-executable memfd executable,
bypassing vm.memfd_noexec=2.

simple_set_acl() updates i_mode directly, bypassing the seal check in
shmem_setattr(). Add shmem_set_acl() to check the resulting mode. Share
the F_SEAL_EXEC check with shmem_setattr() using memfd_check_seals_mode()
in include/linux/memfd.h.

Fix generated by an LLM and sent by Chris Mason in private.
