Hongfu Li a179686b91 selftests/mm: fix incorrect mmap() error handling with NULL instead of MAP_FAILED

mmap() returns MAP_FAILED, which is defined as (void *)-1, on error, not
NULL.  Several selftests incorrectly check the return value of mmap()
using !ptr or ptr == NULL, which would erroneously treat MAP_FAILED as a
valid pointer since MAP_FAILED is non-zero and non-NULL.  This can lead to
segfaults when mmap() actually fails under memory pressure.
