[PATCH] Cygwin: mmap: fix mapping beyond EOF on 64 bit

Commit 605bdcd410384dda6db66b9b8cd19e863702e1bb enabled mapping beyond
EOF in 64 bit environments.  But the variable 'orig_len' did not get
rounded up to a multiple of 64K.  This rounding was done on 32 bit
only.  Fix this by rounding up orig_len on 64 bit, in the same place
where 'len' is rounded up.

One consequence of this bug is that orig_len could be slightly smaller
than len.  Since these are both unsigned values, the statement
'orig_len -= len' would then cause orig_len to be huge, and mmap would
fail with errno EFBIG.

I observed this failure while debugging the problem reported in

  https://sourceware.org/pipermail/cygwin/2020-July/245557.html.

The failure can be seen by running the test case in that report under
gdb or strace.
