[LTP] [PATCH v3 3/3] mmap24: add test for MAP_32BIT address limit

From: Andrea Cervesato <andrea.cervesato@suse.com>

Add a test verifying that mmap() with the MAP_32BIT flag restricts
mappings to the first 2GB of address space and fails with ENOMEM
when the 32-bit address space is exhausted without falling back to
higher addresses.
