Subject: [RFCv2 1/6] mm: introduce MADV_COLD

When a process expects no accesses to a certain memory range, it could
give a hint to kernel that the pages can be reclaimed when memory pressure
happens but data should be preserved for future use.  This could reduce
workingset eviction so it ends up increasing performance.

This patch introduces the new MADV_COLD hint to madvise(2) syscall.
MADV_COLD can be used by a process to mark a memory range as not expected
to be used in the near future. The hint can help kernel in deciding which
pages to evict early during memory pressure.

Internally, it works via deactivating pages from active list to inactive's
head if the page is private because inactive list could be full of
used-once pages which are first candidate for the reclaiming and that's a
reason why MADV_FREE move pages to head of inactive LRU list. Therefore,
if the memory pressure happens, they will be reclaimed earlier than other
active pages unless there is no access until the time.

* RFCv1
 * renaming from MADV_COOL to MADV_COLD - hannes

* internal review
 * use clear_page_youn in deactivate_page - joelaf
 * Revise the description - surenb
 * Renaming from MADV_WARM to MADV_COOL - surenb
