Changes

Mmap the backing file in the UFFD handlers with MAP_POPULATE.

Reason

We use example UFFD handlers in performance tests to measure the population latency. We do not want for it to be diluted by the page faults in the backing file. Using an already populated backing file makes the measurement more precise.
