Follow-up Comment #1, bug #15329 (project hurd):

The function vm_write() in load_section() requires that the data contents be
in page-aligned memory, but zipdata is allocated by open_memstream() which
does not allocate page-aligned memory.  In check_{gzip(),bzip2()}, we need to
allocate page-aligned memory space with valloc(), memcpy zipdata into it and
then point e->file_data to that.

For some reason, exec requires that e->map_buffer has the data mmap'd, even
when we have the data in e->file_data.  It will not work if we do not set
this.

All this needs to be done after the finish() call in check_{gzip(),bzip2()}
or they data in e->file_data and e->map_buffer will be freed.

Also, in finish() we need to set e->file_data = NULL after free()ing the data
so that we do not attempt to free it again on a subsequent call to finish().
