Fix safe_fd exhaustion in fork chain caused by non closing of shared_mem_fd
Patch that fixes the problem reported by Christian Borntraeger.
The problem was created by keeping the shared memory mapped file opened
without reason till the process does an exec.
In case of a chain of forked processes (without exec), the range of safe_fd
reserved for Valgrind own usage becomes exhausted.

Add a fourth --smc-check= variant, --smc-check=all-non-file. This
adds self-modifying-code checks to all guest code taken from mappings
which are not file backed, but omits checks in code from file backed
mappings. This has the effect of giving complete smc-coverage of JIT
generated code -- since that is invariably generated into anonymous
mapped areas -- without burdening non-JIT generated code with such
checks. Running Firefox 6, --smc-check=all-non-file reduces by a
factor of between 3 and 10 the number of translations requiring a self
check, compared to --smc-check=all. These changes depend on the vex
interface changes in r2158.
