If the recvfrom() returned address is truncated, the 'fromlen'

a count of the number of bytes in the truncated buffer.
Also clarify that the 'from' argument can be NULL, in which
case 'fromlen' should is unused, and should also be NULL.

mmap.2: Loosen language around how 'addr' hint is interpreted
...
Mel Gorman reported that in Linux 2.6.27, 'addr' is rounded
down to a page boundary.
Before kernel 2.6.26, if 'addr' was taken as a hint, it was
rounded up to the next page boundary. Since Linux 2.6.24,
it is rounded down. Therefore, loosen the description of
this point to say that the address is rounded to "a nearby
page boundary".
