tmpfs/ramfs: let memfd_create() work on nommu
Currently trying to use memfd_create() on nommu returns an error with
errno set to EFBIG. The manpage memfd_create() doesn't have EFBIG as a
possible error value.
Doing some digging this is coming from 0 getting passed as newsize to
ramfs_nommu_expand_for_mapping() and that getting into get_order() and
there "The result is undefined if the size is 0".
Whatever comes out of get_order() is then used in the following logic and
that results in the EFBIG that causes the syscall to fail and the errno in
userspace.
If newsize is 0 there is nothing to do so just return.
Roughly tested on m68k nommu by creating a process, creating an memfd,
forking another process, mmap()ing the memfd in the child, writing into
the mapping, then mmap()ing in the parent and checking that the right data
is there.
