Subject: [RFC 2/2] Prevent promotion of page in madvise_dontneed
Now zap_pte_range alwayas promotes pages which are pte_young &&
!VM_SequentialReadHint(vma). But in case of calling MADV_DONTNEED,
it's unnecessary since the page wouldn't use any more.
If the page is sharred by other processes and it's real working set
