[IA64] Fix vulnerability of privcmd_mmap

empty_zero_page can be polluted by writing to a page through
privcmd_mmap().  i.e. a user program can hang a privileged
domain (dom0), although root privilege is required.

Resetting the VM_PFNMAP flag is a little bit kludgy, but
fixes the issue.

After this patch is applied, other patches to Qemu become
necessary to create a HVM domain.
