Kernel: Simplify the File memory-mapping API

Before this change, we had File::mmap() which did all the work of
setting up a VMObject, and then creating a Region in the current
process's address space.

This patch simplifies the interface by removing the region part.
Files now only have to return a suitable VMObject from
vmobject_for_mmap(), and then sys$mmap() itself will take care of
actually mapping it into the address space.

This fixes an issue where we'd try to block on I/O (for inode metadata
lookup) while holding the address space spinlock. It also reduces time
spent holding the address space lock.
