Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

debugfs: Fix lockdown check for mmap_prepare

Commit 651fdda8406d ("relay: update relay to use mmap_prepare")
changed the `mmap` file operation to `mmap_prepare` for relayfs, but
the lockdown check in debugfs was not updated accordingly.

This prevents debugfs from being locked down when the kernel is in
integrity mode if a file uses `mmap_prepare` but not `mmap`.

Since the conversion to `mmap_prepare` across the kernel is not yet
complete, update the lockdown check to look for both `mmap` and
`mmap_prepare` to ensure comprehensive coverage.
