Subject: [PATCH] selftests/proc: Fix spelling in comments and improve error message

This patch corrects minor spelling mistake and adjusts comment style,
such as capitalizing the first letter for consistency.
In addition, "error: failed to find available memory address for mapping\n"
message replaces a not-quite-suitable one:"error: mmap doesn't like you\n".

No functional changes are introduced
