Take f_mutex around mmap() processing to protect against races with the SG_SET_RESERVED_SIZE ioctl. Ensure the reserve buffer length remains consistent during the mapping operation, and set the "mmap called" flag to prevent further changes to the reserved buffer size as an atomic operation with the mapping.
