libvhost-user: Use most of mmap_offset as fd_offset

In the past, QEMU would create memory regions that could partially cover
hugetlb pages, making mmap() fail if we would use the mmap_offset as an
fd_offset. For that reason, we never used the mmap_offset as an offset into
the fd and instead always mapped the fd from the very start.

However, that can easily result in us mmap'ing a lot of unnecessary
parts of an fd, possibly repeatedly.

QEMU nowadays does not create memory regions that partially cover huge
pages -- it never really worked with postcopy. QEMU handles merging of
regions that partially cover huge pages (due to holes in boot memory) since
2018 in c1ece84e7c93 ("vhost: Huge page align and merge").

Let's be a bit careful and not unconditionally convert the
mmap_offset into an fd_offset. Instead, let's simply detect the hugetlb
size and pass as much as we can as fd_offset, making sure that we call
mmap() with a properly aligned offset.

With QEMU and a virtio-mem device that is fully plugged (50GiB using 50
memslots) the qemu-storage daemon process consumes in the VA space
1281GiB before this change and 58GiB after this change.
