[PATCH] maps.2: fd for a file mapping must be opened for reading

[Andrey Vagin <avagin@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Here is no difference between MAP_SHARED and MAP_PRIVATE.

do_mmap_pgoff()
	switch (flags & MAP_TYPE) {
	case MAP_SHARED:
	...
	/* fall through */
	case MAP_PRIVATE:
		if (!(file->f_mode & FMODE_READ))
			return -EACCES;
