linux-user: Fix initialization of the heap contents when allocating new pages
Technically the new mmapped pages are already initialized to zero
since they are anonymous, however we have to take care with the
contents that come from the remaining part of the previous page: it
may contains garbage data due to a previous heap usage (grown then
shrunken).
This patch completes commit 55f08c84. The problem could be reproduced
when emulating the build process of Perl 5.12.3 on ARMedSlack 13.37:
