[Buildroot] [PATCH] package/xen: Fix qemu-xen memfd build failure

Fix the QEMU memfd compile error:
tools/qemu-xen/util/memfd.c:40:12: error: static declaration of 'memfd_create' follows non-static declaration
 static int memfd_create(const char *name, unsigned int flags)
            ^~~~~~~~~~~~

that has been introduced since the Glibc 2.27 upgrade.

This just involves porting the upstream QEMU patch to the Xen QEMU tree.

This fixes:

+Subject: [PATCH] memfd: fix configure test
+MIME-Version: 1.0
+Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
+Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
+
+Recent glibc added memfd_create in sys/mman.h.  This conflicts with
+the definition in util/memfd.c:
+
+    /builddir/build/BUILD/qemu-2.11.0-rc1/util/memfd.c:40:12: error: static declaration of memfd_create follows non-static declaration
+
+Fix the configure test, and remove the sys/memfd.h inclusion since the
+file actually does not exist---it is a typo in the memfd_create(2) man
+page.
