[PATCH] mmap error handling
I have reviewed all occurrences of mmap() in git and fixed three types
of errors/defects:
1) The result is not checked.
2) The file descriptor is closed if mmap() succeeds, but not when it
fails.
3) Various casts applied to -1 are used instead of MAP_FAILED, which is
specifically defined to check mmap() return value.
[jc: This is a second round of Pavel's patch. He fixed up the problem
that close() potentially clobbering the errno from mmap, which
the first round had.]
