The semantics of os::free_memory() has changed with the fix for 6541756
(Reduce executable C-heap). This function is used in the NUMA-aware
allocator to free pages. Instead, now it does an mmap(PROT_NONE), which
causes the VM to trap on the next access. The fix is to change this
function to have its original semantics.
