Instead of using prf->prf_mapname (which resolves to the mapped file's target), use Pmap_mapfile_name() to get the actual /proc/$pid/map_files/* path. These magic symlinks can be opened even when their corresponding files are deleted or in an inaccessible filesystem namespace, ensuring we can read the mapping contents reliably. DTrace already does this to read mappings during USDT probe lookup. Fixes issues with probes in paths like /home when dtprobed is sandboxed by systemd. Tested on both systemd and non-systemd (non-jailed) systems, with USDT programs running out of /tmp, /usr/local and /home.
