I don't think we want to do that for a couple of reasons. We catch
such invalid accesses on faulting, and, by analogy, afaikt, neither
secretmem nor memfd perform a similar check on mmap (nor do
memory-mapped files in general).

There are also valid reasons why a user would want to deliberately
mmap more memory than the backing store, knowing that it's only going
to fault what it's going to use, e.g., alignment.

Cheers,
/fuad
