revert "memfd: improve userspace warnings for missing exec-related fl…
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history

This warning is telling userspace developers to pass MFD_EXEC and
MFD_NOEXEC_SEAL to memfd_create().  Commit 434ed33 ("memfd: improve
userspace warnings for missing exec-related flags") made the warning more
frequent and visible in the hope that this would accelerate the fixing of
errant userspace.

But the overall effect is to generate far too much dmesg noise.
