Subject: Avoid SIGBUS on mmap failure
Git-commit: c081fa410e7c466df4b3b257e7b974b71fb7f250
Patch-mainline: 3.1

mmap will fail with SIGBUS if trying to map a non-existent portion of
a file. While this should never happen with /dev/mem, it can happen if
passing a regular file with option -d. While people should no longer
do that, failure gracefully seems better than crashing. So check for
the file size before calling mmap.

This closes bug #46066:
