After revert stat relative patch in glibc, mmap01-mmap14 success. But mmap16
success with segfault. I will investigate it later.

There is pointer and size_t in mmap, so, IIUC, we need to clear the top halves
of register by using COMPAT_SYSCALL_WRAP6. And after check the function in
arch/s390/kernel/compat_linux.c, I feel that we need to do the same thing for
pread64 and pwrite64.

But I got following error when I try to add
COMPAT_SYSCALL_WRAP4(pread64, unsigned int, fd, char __user *, buf,
size_t, count, loff_t, pos);
COMPAT_SYSCALL_WRAP4(pwrite64, unsigned int, fd, const char __user *, buf,
size_t, count, loff_t, pos);

The error message:
kernel/compat_wrapper.c: In function 'compat_SyS_pread64':

Because the loff_t is not the long, unsigned long or pointer.
