Add "Fix mmap() error paths to check for MAP_FAILED" at the end of the
changelog

Change short log to say "selftests:mm: Fix mmap() error paths to check for MAP_FAILED"
selftests is the right subsystem tag for this change.

"Fix" in the short log will make it easier for this change to be picked up by stables.

Use ksft_exit_fail_msg("mmap failed\n") to be consistent with the rest.
