UIO: Fix mapping of logical and virtual memory

From: Andrew Harvey

From: "Andrew G. Harvey" <agh@xxxxxxxxx>

mmap() doesn't work as expected for UIO_MEM_LOGICAL or UIO_MEM_VIRTUAL
mappings. The offset into the memory needs to be added, otherwise
uio_vma_fault always returns the first page only. Note that for UIO
userspace calls mmap() with offset = N * getpagesize() to access
mapping N. This must be compensated when calculating the offset. A
comment was added to explain this since it is not obvious.
