Subject: [PATCH 2/4] mm: introduce external memory hinting API

There are usecases that System Management Software(SMS) want to give
a memory hint to other processes because it's not known to the
application. In the case of Android, ActivityManagerService daemon
manges app's life cycle and that daemon must be able to initiate
reclaim on its own without any app involvement.

To solve the issue, this patch introduces new syscall process_madvise(2).
It uses pidfd of an external processs to give the hint.

 int process_madvise(int pidfd, void *addr, size_t length, int advise,
			unsigned long flag);

Since it could affect other process's address range, only privileged
process(CAP_SYS_PTRACE) or something else(e.g., being the same UID)
gives it the right to ptrace the process could use it successfully.
The flag argument is reserved for future use if we need to extend the
API.

Supporting all hints madvise has/will supported/support to process_madvise
is rather risky. Because we are not sure all hints make sense from external
process and implementation for the hint may rely on the caller being
in the current context so it could be error-prone. Thus, I just limited
hints as MADV_[COLD|PAGEOUT] in this patch.

If someone want to add other hints, we could hear hear the usecase and
review it for each hint. It's more safe for maintainace rather than
introducing a buggy syscall but hard to fix it later.
