Subject: [PATCH 3/9] mm/madvise: deduplicate madvise_do_behavior() skip case handlings

The logic for checking if a given madvise() request for a single memory
range can skip real work, namely madvise_do_behavior(), is duplicated in
do_madvise() and vector_madvise().  Split out the logic to a function
and resue it.
