You've probably found what this is via google by now, but I've been
confused by this appearing when running ldd then not finding it on the
file system in the past.
My understanding is it's a 'phantom' shared library provided by the
kernel to facilitate efficient system calls.
I'm by no means a coder or kernel hacker, but this seems a reasonable
explanation:
