madvise_do_behavior() has a long open-coded 'behavior' check for
MADV_POPULATE_{READ,WRITE}.  It adds multiple layers[1] and make the
code arguably take longer time to read.  Like is_memory_failure(), split
out the check to a separate function.  This is not technically removing
the additional layer but discourage further extending the switch-case.
Also it makes madvise_do_behavior() code shorter and therefore easier to
read.
