s390/compat: fix mmap compat system calls
The native 31 bit and the compat behaviour for the mmap system calls differ:
In native 31 bit mode the passed in address for the mmap system call will be
unmodified passed to sys_mmap_pgoff().
In compat mode however the passed in address will be modified with
compat_ptr() which masks out the most significant bit.
The result is that in native 31 bit mode each mmap request (with MAP_FIXED)
will fail where the most significat bit is set, while in compat mode it
may succeed.
This odd behaviour was introduced with d3815898 "[S390] mmap: add missing
compat_ptr conversion to both mmap compat syscalls".
To restore a consistent behaviour accross native and compat mode this
patch functionally reverts the above mentioned commit.
