file_setup_area() currently allocates anonymous memory, fills it, and writes it into the backing file used for collapse testing.
Instead of copying data through write(), map the file directly with MAP_SHARED after resizing it with ftruncate(), initialize the mapped area in place, and sync it with msync(). This simplifies the setup path and avoids the need for explicit partial write handling.
