[PATCH v14 01/21] read-cache: allow to keep mmap'd memory after reading

[David Turner <novalis@novalis.org>]

From: Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy <pclouds@gmail.com>

Later, we will introduce git index-helper to share this memory with
other git processes.

We only unmap it when we discard the index (although the kernel may of
course choose to page it out).
