This change adds additional support to MappedByteBuffer::force which delegates to msync on AIX. Specifically, it checks whether and error with errno set to EINVAL is the cause of a msync call to an address mmapped with the MAP_PRIVATE flag set. If this flag is set, then the msync call EINVAL is expected, and can be ignored as per the Java documentation of the force method.

> In particular, the method has no effect for buffers mapped in read-only or private mapping modes. [1]

Separated into separate file as per recommendation by @AlanBateman.
