Subject: [RFC PATCH 05/16] mm/madvise: define and use madvise_behavior struct for madvise_do_behavior()

To implement batched tlb flushes for MADV_DONTNEED[_LOCKED] and
MADV_FREE, an mmu_gather object in addition to the behavior integer need
to be passed to the internal logics.  Define a struct for passing such
information together with the behavior value without increasing number
of parameters of all code paths towards the internal logic.
