[PATCH for vm-scalability] usemem: Add new option --fragmentation for generating fragmented pages

[Hui Zhu]

This commit adds new option --fragmentation.  usemem will generate
size/2/pagesize fragmented pages with this option.
Its implementation is to use madvise to release a page every other page.
For example:
usemem --fragment -s -1 400m
Ideally, this command will generate 200m fragmented pages in the system.

This command can help test anti-fragmentation function and other features
that are affected by fragmentation issues of the Linux kernel.
