MAP_FAILED is already void *

You still didn't explain why this test is actually needed. Why are you
testing MREMAP_DONTUNMAP's hint system?
This has nothing to do with mseal, you already test the
MREMAP_DONTUNMAP and MREMAP_FIXED paths in other tests.
You also don't know if 0xdead0000 is a valid page (hexagon for
instance seems to support 256KiB and 1MiB pages, so does ppc32, and
this is not something that should be hardcoded).

I'm not a fan of just throwing random flags for tests, it should be
somewhat logical.
