[PATCH] elf: Do not check for loader mmap on tst-decorate-maps (BZ 31553)

On some architectures and depending on the page size, the loader can
also allocate some memory during dependencies loading and it will be
marked as 'loader malloc'.  However, if the system page size is
large enough, the initial data page will be enough for all required
allocation and there will be no extra loader mmap.  To avoid false
negatives, the test does not check for such pages.

Checked on powerpc64le-linux-gnu with 64k pagesize.
