mm/madvise: batch tlb flushes for MADV_FREE

Browse source

MADV_FREE handling for [process_]madvise() flushes tlb for each vma of
each address range.  Update the logic to do tlb flushes in a batched way. 
Initialize an mmu_gather object from do_madvise() and vector_madvise(),
which are the entry level functions for [process_]madvise(), respectively.
And pass those objects to the function for per-vma work, via
madvise_behavior struct.  Make the per-vma logic not flushes tlb on their
own but just saves the tlb entries to the received mmu_gather object. 
Finally, the entry level functions flush the tlb entries that gathered for
the entire user request, at once.
