mm/mmap.c: remove incorrect MAP_FIXED flag comparison from mmap_region
The following flag comparison in mmap_region makes no sense:
if (!(vm_flags & MAP_FIXED))
return -ENOMEM;
The condition is always false and thus the above "return -ENOMEM" is
never executed. The vm_flags must not be compared with MAP_FIXED flag.
The vm_flags may only be compared with VM_* flags. MAP_FIXED has the
same value as VM_MAYREAD.
Hitting the rlimit is a slow path and find_vma_intersection should
realize that there is no overlapping VMA for !MAP_FIXED case pretty
quickly.
