Subject: [PATCH 5/10] mm/fs: route MADV_REMOVE to FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE

Now tmpfs supports hole-punching via fallocate(), switch madvise_remove()
to use do_fallocate() instead of vmtruncate_range(): which extends
madvise(,,MADV_REMOVE) support from tmpfs to ext4, ocfs2 and xfs.

There is one more user of vmtruncate_range() in our tree, staging/android's
ashmem_shrink(): convert it to use do_fallocate() too (but if its unpinned
areas are already unmapped - I don't know - then it would do better to use
shmem_truncate_range() directly).
