[issue1724] Remove XIG X Server hack from kern_mmap()

["Venkatesh Srinivas \(via DragonFly issue tracker\)" <sinknull@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

New submission from Venkatesh Srinivas <me@acm.jhu.edu>:

It seems that the XIG X Server wanted to be able to map /dev/mem MAP_PRIVATE, so 
at securelevel < 1, root could MAP_PRIVATE character devs. This workaround is 
marked 'this will have to go'; remove it.
