Also fix the msan_fail test. It was bogus, since it always aborted one
way or another.

The -msan option compiles Go code to use the memory sanitizer. This is
intended for use when linking with C/C++ code compiled with
-fsanitize=memory. When memory blocks are passed back and forth between
C/C++ and Go, code in both languages will agree as to whether the memory
is correctly initialized or not, and will report errors for any use of
uninitialized memory.

The memory sanitizer (msan) is a nice compiler feature that can
dynamically check for memory errors in C code. It's not useful for Go
code, since Go is memory safe. But it is useful to be able to use the
memory sanitizer on C code that is linked into a Go program via cgo.
Without this change it does not work, as msan considers memory passed
from Go to C as uninitialized.
To make this work, change the runtime to call the C mmap function when
using cgo. When using msan the mmap call will be intercepted and marked
as returning initialized memory.
Work around what appears to be an msan bug by calling malloc before we
call mmap.
