I think Hardik did the right thing here. This is a build failure bug
that's present in stable kernels but was fixed in upstream by an
unrelated commit:

 11f75a01448f ("selftests/memfd: add tests for MFD_NOEXEC_SEAL MFD_EXEC")

It wouldn't be right to backport that patch because MFD_NOEXEC_SEAL and
MFD_EXEC weren't introduced until v6.3.

There was an (unmerged) attempt to fix this specific build failure in upstream:

 https://lore.kernel.org/all/20211203024706.10094-1-luke.nowakowskikrijger@xxxxxxxxxxxxx/

Hardik opted to follow what was done upstream in a patch specifically
for the stable tree.
