exec.c: do not truncate non-empty memory backend file 

For '-object memory-backend-file,mem-path=foo,size=xyz', if the size of
file 'foo' does not match the given size 'xyz', the current QEMU will
truncate the file to the given size, which may corrupt the existing data
in that file. To avoid such data corruption, this patch disables
truncating non-empty backend files.
