backport "do not segfault in cache generation on mmap failure"
Original commit message: Out of memory and similar circumstanzas could cause MMap::Map to fail and especially the mmap/malloc calls in it. With some additional checking we can avoid segfaults and similar in such situations – at least in theory as if this is a real out of memory everything we do to handle the error could just as well run into a memory problem as well… But at least in theory (if MMap::Map is made to fail always) we can deal with it so good that a user actually never sees a failure (as the cache it tries to load with it fails and is discarded, so that DynamicMMap takes over and a new one is build) instead of segfaulting. Closes: 803417 LP: #1815129
