Well, can we unify this code with mem_open() ? Say, let it be
__mem_open() or whatever, then mem_open() can use the common
helper and add FMODE_UNSIGNED_OFFSET. Just we need another
argument for mm_access.

Again, this is identical with mem_release(), proc_environ_operations
can simply use it instead.
