Title:
  qemu-user: mmap should return failure (MAP_FAILED, -1) instead of
  success (NULL, 0) when len==0

Status in QEMU:
  New
Status in qemu package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  As shown in https://github.com/beehive-
  lab/mambo/issues/19#issuecomment-407420602, with len==0 mmap returns
  success (NULL, 0) instead of failure (MAP_FAILED, -1) in a x86_64 host
  executing a ELF 64-bit LSB executable, ARM aarch64 binary.

  Steps to reproduce the bug:

  - (cross-)compile the attached source file:

  $ aarch64-linux-gnu-gcc -static -std=gnu99 -lpthread test/mmap_qemu.c
  -o mmap_qemu

  - Execute in a x86_64 host with qemu-user and qemu-user-binfmt:

  $ ./mmap_qemu
  alloc: 0
  MAP_FAILED: -1
  errno: 0
  mmap_qemu: test/mmap_qemu.c:15: main: Assertion `alloc == MAP_FAILED' failed.
  qemu: uncaught target signal 6 (Aborted) - core dumped
  Aborted (core dumped)

  - Execute in a ARM host without any additional dependecy:

  $ ./mmap_qemu
  alloc: -1
  MAP_FAILED: -1
  errno: 22

  The bug is present in Fedora:
