[PATCH] mm/madvise: add MADV_WILLNEED to process_madvise()

[zhangkui]

There is a usecase in Android that an app process's memory is swapped out
by process_madvise() with MADV_PAGEOUT, such as the memory is swapped to
zram or a backing device. When the process is scheduled to running, like
switch to foreground, multiple page faults may cause the app dropped
frames.
To reduce the problem, SMS can read-ahead memory of the process immediately
when the app switches to forground.
Calling process_madvise() with MADV_WILLNEED can meet this need.
