This is a preparatory commit. In the future, we want to be able to setup
alias mappings for area_src and area_dst in the shmem test, like we do
in the hugetlb_shared test. With a VMA obtained via
mmap(MAP_ANONYMOUS | MAP_SHARED), it isn't clear how to do this.

So, mmap() with an fd, so we can create alias mappings. Use memfd_create
instead of actually passing in a tmpfs path like hugetlb does, since
it's more convenient / simpler to run, and works just as well.

Future commits will:

1. Setup the alias mappings.
2. Extend our tests to actually take advantage of this, to test new
   userfaultfd behavior being introduced in this series.

Also, a small fix in the area we're changing: when the hugetlb setup
fails in main(), pass in the right argv[] so we actually print out the
hugetlb file path.
