x86/vm86: Block non-root vm86(old) if mmap_min_addr != 0
vm86 exposes an interesting attack surface against the entry code. Since vm86 is mostly useless anyway if mmap_min_addr != 0, just turn it off in that case. There are some reports that vbetool can work despite setting mmap_min_addr to zero. This shouldn't break that use case, as CAP_SYS_RAWIO already overrides mmap_min_addr.
