[PATCH v2 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.

The only 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 will
allow hugetlb mappings.  Also, before calling zap_page_range in the
DONTNEED case align start and size to huge page size for hugetlb vmas.
madvise only requires PAGE_SIZE alignment, but the hugetlb unmap routine
requires huge page size alignment.
