Lorenzo Stoakes ab04945f91 mm: update mem char driver to use mmap_prepare
Update the mem char driver (backing /dev/mem and /dev/zero) to use
f_op->mmap_prepare hook rather than the deprecated f_op->mmap.

The /dev/zero implementation has a very unique and rather concerning
characteristic in that it converts MAP_PRIVATE mmap() mappings anonymous
when they are, in fact, not.

The new f_op->mmap_prepare() can support this, but rather than introducing
a helper function to perform this hack (and risk introducing other users),
utilise the success hook to do so.

We utilise the newly introduced shmem_zero_setup_desc() to allow for the
shared mapping case via an f_op->mmap_prepare() hook.

We also use the desc->action_error_hook to filter the remap error to
-EAGAIN to keep behaviour consistent.
