[LTP] [PATCH v2] mmap01: fix check_file() test for file corruption

mmap01 reported random test failures. Investigation showed
that check_file() will compare the whole buffer even if less
bytes were read from the file. Adjust check_file() to:

- fail the test if the not the correct amount of data has been read.
- only compare the bytes actually read

Changes in v2:

- check return value from SAFE_READ
- only verify bytes actually read
