summary:

[3.15] gh-154258: Fix mmap.resize() crash on NetBSD growing a shared anonymous 
mapping (GH-154259) (GH-154262)

NetBSD mremap() returns a mapping whose grown region is not backed when
growing a shared anonymous mapping, so accessing it crashes.  Reject it
with ValueError, as is already done on Linux.
(cherry picked from commit 542b98293108a84fa5d904fb6dcf8bfb5080ec93)
