Subject: [PATCH] NOMMU: Check fd read permission in validate_mmap_request()

From: Graff Yang <graff.yang@...il.com>

According to the POSIX (1003.1-2008), the file descriptor shall have been
opened with read permission, regardless of the protection options specified to
mmap().  The ltp test cases mmap06/07 need this.
