1 review trailer.

How mmap is mapped to a raw system call varies across different
architectures.  On some architectures (such as 32-bit ARM), __NR_mmap
may not exist at all; glibc will use __NR_mmap2 to implement mmap(2).
Syzkaller is using mmap() as a non-portable version of malloc(3), so
it should be safe to use the glibc's mmap wrapper instead of trying to
directly call the system call.

[ I found this issue when trying to build blktests as part of the
  kvm-xfstests test appliance, which I currently do for the x86_64,
  i386, arm64, and armhf platforms.

  The PULL request I sent is this -v2 version, which has the spelling
  correction pointed out by Bart plus his Reviewed-by.

  I thought about rewriting the full Syzkaller test in idiomatic C
  instead of the cr*p assembly-language like mess that it generates,
  but that would risk changing the test case.  So for this change I
  opted to keep it as close as possible to the original
  machine-generated test.
