Don't trust CreateFileMapping() to clear the error code on success.

We must test GetLastError() even when CreateFileMapping() returns a
non-null handle.  If that value were left over from some previous system
call, we might be fooled into thinking the segment already existed.
Experimentation on Windows 7 suggests that CreateFileMapping() clears
the error code on success, but it is not documented to do so, so let's
not rely on that happening in all Windows releases.
