Looking at the underlying shmem implementation, there seems to be no
way to enable transparent huge pages specifically for restricted memfd
files.

Michael discussed earlier about tweaking
/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/shmem_enabled setting to allow
hugepages to be used while backing restricted memfd. Such a change
will affect the rest of the shmem usecases as well. Even setting the
shmem_enabled policy to "advise" wouldn't help unless file based
advise for hugepage allocation is implemented.

Does it make sense to provide a flag here to allow creating restricted
memfds backed possibly by huge pages to give a more granular control?
