Test java/foreign/TestByteBuffer.java fails: a problem with msync (aix)

Test java/foreign/TestByteBuffer.java fails on AIX in subtest testMappedSegmentAsByteBuffer. Native C-method msync() returns with errno EINVAL because flag MS_SYNC is set although the preceding call for mmap issued mode MAP_PRIVATE. This is working as documented for AIX (msync Subroutine - IBM Documentation). Other Unix implementations like linux do not have this restriction.
 
According to javadoc of the calling java method java.base/java/nio/MappedByteBuffer.force() (MappedByteBuffer (Java SE 21 & JDK 21 [build 25])) this combination of flags should be allowed to result in a noop call of force(). Therefore, the failing call of msync should be avoided at least for AIX if according mmap was using flag MAP_PRIVATE.
 
Problem: in the current sequence of calls, this information is not available in the method calling msync().
