Subject: [PATCH] mq_open: Perform check for mq name

According to Linux man page:
[http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/mq_open.2.html]

```
C library/kernel differences
   The mq_open() library function is implemented on top of a system call
   of the same name.  The library function performs the check that the
   name starts with a slash (/), giving the EINVAL error if it does not.
   The kernel system call expects name to contain no preceding slash, so
   the C library function passes name without the preceding slash (i.e.,
   name+1) to the system call.
```

glibc performs the check but musl doesn't, add the
check so we can have consistent behavior.
