[LTP] [PATCH] syscalls/mprotect01: map /dev/zero instead of /etc/passwd

The test creates a read-only map for /etc/passwd to test
against errors returned by mprotect with PROT_WRITE. This
doesn't work in Android systems (no /etc/passwd)

More portable solution is to replace /etc/passwd with
/dev/zero instead. That fixes the problem for Android
systems
