Subject: [RFC PATCH 5/5] mm: introduce MADV_DOEXEC

madvise MADV_DOEXEC preserves a memory range across exec.  Initially
only supported for non-executable, non-stack, anonymous memory.
MADV_DONTEXEC reverts the effect of a previous MADV_DOXEXEC call and
undoes the preservation of the range.  After a successful exec call,
the behavior of all ranges reverts to MADV_DONTEXEC.
