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.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
