Allow issuing an IOCTL_PRIVCMD_MMAP_RESOURCE ioctl with num = 0 and

Add a shortcut to the default map resource path, since fetching the
size requires no address to be passed in, and thus no VMA to setup.

Fixes: 3ad0876554caf ('xen/privcmd: add IOCTL_PRIVCMD_MMAP_RESOURCE')

I don't think this addition is a reason to add a "Fixes:" tag. This is
clearly new functionality.

It could be argued that not allowing to query the resource size was a
shortcoming of the original implementation, but a backport request to
stable would be more appropriate than a fixes tag I think. Will drop
on next version and add a backport request if you agree.

Yes, please.
