mm: rearrange madvise code to allow for reuse

Patch series "mm: rearrange madvise code to allow for reuse", v11.

Avoid performance regression of the new anon vma name field refcounting it.

I checked the image sizes with allnoconfig builds:

  unpatched Linus' ToT

This patch (of 3):

Refactor the madvise syscall to allow for parts of it to be reused by a
prctl syscall that affects vmas.

Move the code that walks vmas in a virtual address range into a function
that takes a function pointer as a parameter.  The only caller for now
is sys_madvise, which uses it to call madvise_vma_behavior on each vma,
but the next patch will add an additional caller.

Move handling all vma behaviors inside madvise_behavior, and rename it
to madvise_vma_behavior.

Move the code that updates the flags on a vma, including splitting or
merging the vma as necessary, into a new function called
madvise_update_vma.  The next patch will add support for updating a new
anon_name field as well.
