-mem-prealloc asks to preallocate memory residing on -mem-path path. 

Currently QEMU exits in case:

- Memory file has been created but allocation via explicit write 
fails.

And it fallbacks to malloc in case:
- Querying huge page size fails.
- Lack of sync MMU support.
- Open fails.
- mmap fails.

Have the same behaviour for all cases: fail in case -mem-path and
-mem-prealloc are specified for regions where the requested size is
suitable for hugepages.
