overcommit: introduce mem-lock=on-fault

Browse source 
Locking the memory without MCL_ONFAULT instantly prefaults any mmaped
anonymous memory with a write-fault, which introduces a lot of extra
overhead in terms of memory usage when all you want to do is to prevent
kcompactd from migrating and compacting QEMU pages. Add an option to
only lock pages lazily as they're faulted by the process by using
MCL_ONFAULT if asked.
