[patch 2/3] MAP_NOZERO - implement sys_brk2()

[Davide Libenzi <davidel@xmailserver.org>]

The following patch implements the sys_brk2() syscall, that nothing is
other than a sys_brk() with an extra "flags" parameter. This can be used
to pass the new MAP_NOZERO bit, to ask the kernel to hand over non-zero
pages if possible.
