[PATCH 2.6] fix mmap() return value to conform POSIX

[Gordon Jin]

This patch fixes 2 return values in mmap() to conform POSIX spec:

[EINVAL]
        The value of len is zero.
        
[ENOMEM]
        MAP_FIXED was specified, and the range [addr,addr+len) exceeds
        that allowed for the address space of a process; or, if
        MAP_FIXED was not specified and there is insufficient room in
        the address space to effect the mapping.
