[v4,07/14] mm/madvise: Handle COW-ed PTE with madvise()

Commit Message

Break COW PTE if madvise() modify the pte entry of COW-ed PTE.
Following are the list of flags which need to break COW PTE. However,
like MADV_HUGEPAGE and MADV_MERGEABLE, we should handle it respectively.

- MADV_DONTNEED: It calls to zap_page_range() which already be handled.
- MADV_FREE: It uses walk_page_range() with madvise_free_pte_range() to
	     free the page by itself, so add break_cow_pte().
- MADV_REMOVE: Same as MADV_FREE, it remove the page by itself, so add
	       break_cow_pte_range().
- MADV_COLD: Similar to MAD_FREE, break COW PTE before pageout.
- MADV_POPULATE: Let GUP deal with it.
