For arm32 xdp sockets mmap2 is preferred, so use it if it's defined.

Doesn't this change the application API?

From what I know there is no reason to use both, so if __NR_mmap2 is defined
but not __NR_mmap. Despite the fact that it can be defined internally, say
#define __NR_mmap (__NR_SYSCALL_BASE + 90)
and be used anyway, at least arm use 2 definition one is for old abi and one is
for new and names as their numbers are different:

#define __NR_mmap (__NR_SYSCALL_BASE + 90)
#define __NR_mmap2 (__NR_SYSCALL_BASE + 192)

, so they are not interchangeable and if eabi is used then only __NR_mmap2 is
defined if oeabi then __NR_mmap only... But mmap() use only one and can hide
this from user.

In this patch, seems like here is direct access, so I have no declaration for
__NR_mmap and it breaks build. So here several solutions, I can block __NR_mmap
at all or replace it on __NR_mmap2...or define it by hand (for what then?).
I decided to replace on real one.
