init: set the sys.use_memfd property to false
The sys.use_memfd property is set by default to false in Android
to temporarily disable memfd, till vendor and apps are ready for it.
The main issue: either apps or vendor processes can directly make ashmem
IOCTLs on FDs they receive by assuming they are ashmem, without going
through libcutils. Such fds could have very well be originally created with
libcutils hence they could be memfd. Thus the IOCTLs will break.
Set default value of sys.use_memfd property to true once the issue is
resolved, so that the code can then self-detect if kernel support is present
on the device. The property can also set to true from adb shell, for
debugging.
