try to use mincore() instead of /proc/pid/pagemap

Hello Mark, thank-you for your comments!  I see that access to
/proc/pid/pagemap is gated via PTRACE_MODE_READ_FSCREDS.  Looking for
alternative ways to detect a guard page, independent of reading
/proc/pid/pagemap:

Seems like rv = mincore(page_start_aligned, page_size, &vec) could help?  In
case (rv == 0 && vec == 0)  (It is a valid address, but page not resident in
RAM), that seems to match the /proc/pid/pagemap info for my testcase.  The
second arg can even get automatically rounded up to the page size, which saves
the sysconf(_SC_PAGESIZE) call.  But it may probably misbehave with swapped off
pages.  Thoughts?
