Subject: mm/madvise: move up the behavior parameter validation

madvise_behavior_valid() should be called before acting upon the behavior
parameter.  Hence move up the function.  This also includes
MADV_SOFT_OFFLINE and MADV_HWPOISON options as valid behavior parameter
for the system call madvise().
