Linux mmap rejects mmap() on a write-only file with EACCES.
linux_mmap_common currently does a fun dance to grab the fp associated with
the passed in fd, validates it, then drops the reference and calls into
kern_mmap(). Doing so is perhaps both fragile and premature; there's still
plenty of chance for the request to get rejected with a more appropriate
error, and it's prone to a race where the file we ultimately mmap has
changed after it drops its referenced.
This change alleviates the need to do this by providing a kern_mmap variant
that allows the caller to inspect the fp just before calling into the fileop
layer. The callback takes flags, prot, and maxprot as one could imagine
scenarios where any of these, in conjunction with the file itself, may
influence a caller's decision.
The file type check in the linux compat layer has been removed; EINVAL is
seemingly not an appropriate response to the file not being a vnode or
device. The fileop layer will reject the operation with ENODEV if it's not
supported, which more closely matches the common linux description of
mmap(2) return values.
If we discover that we're allowing an mmap() on a file type that Linux
normally wouldn't, we should restrict those explicitly.
