libbpf: Call memfd_create() syscall directly

Some versions of Android do not implement memfd_create() wrapper in
their libc implementation, leading to build failures ([0]). On the other
hand, memfd_create() is available as a syscall on quite old kernels
(3.17+, while bpf() syscall itself is available since 3.18+), so it is
ok to assume that syscall availability and call into it with syscall()
helper to avoid Android-specific workarounds.

Validated in libbpf-bootstrap's CI ([1]).
