tmpfs/ramfs: fix VM_MAYSHARE mappings for NOMMU
The nommu do_mmap expects f_op->get_unmapped_area to either succeed or
return -ENOSYS for VM_MAYSHARE (e.g. private read-only) mappings.
Returning addr in the non-MAP_SHARED case was completely wrong, and only
happened to work because addr was 0. However, it prevented VM_MAYSHARE
mappings from sharing backing with the fs cache, and forced such
mappings (including shareable program text) to be copied whenever the
number of mappings transitioned from 0 to 1, impacting performance and
memory usage. Subsequent mappings beyond the first still correctly
shared memory with the first.
Instead, treat VM_MAYSHARE identically to VM_SHARED at the file ops level;
do_mmap already handles the semantic differences between them.
