[PATCH v3 1/3] mm: enable MADV_DONTNEED for hugetlb mappings

[Mike Kravetz <mike.kravetz@oracle.com>]

MADV_DONTNEED is currently disabled for hugetlb mappings.  This
certainly makes sense in shared file mappings as the pagecache maintains
a reference to the page and it will never be freed.  However, it could
be useful to unmap and free pages in private mappings.  In addition,
userfaultfd minor fault users may be able to simplify code by using
MADV_DONTNEED.

The primary thing preventing MADV_DONTNEED from working on hugetlb
mappings is a check in can_madv_lru_vma().  To allow support for hugetlb
mappings create and use a new routine madvise_dontneed_free_valid_vma()
that allows hugetlb mappings in this specific case.

For normal mappings, madvise requires the start address be PAGE aligned
and rounds up length to the next multiple of PAGE_SIZE.  Do similarly
for hugetlb mappings: require start address be huge page size aligned and
round up length to the next multiple of huge page size.  Use the new
madvise_dontneed_free_valid_vma routine to check alignment and round up
length/end.  zap_page_range requires this alignment for hugetlb vmas
otherwise we will hit BUGs.
