All of these look fine, committing as-is.

Is there a reason some of these are __-prefixed? They don't need too
be (FPE_* and ILL_* are reserved for signal.h) and it seems wrong that
macros intended to be used by the application are in the
reserved-for-implementation-use namespace rather than the public one
for the interface.

I'm holding off on this one just because I don't understand the pkey
stuff, and it looks like it's not actually functional without
additional arch-specific code.
It might also make sense to split this into 2 or 3 patches, since
memfd_create and mlock2 seem like separate, simple functionality
unrelated to the pkey stuff.
