Ilya Leoshkevich 892a4f6a75 linux-user: Add partial support for MADV_DONTNEED
Currently QEMU ignores madvise(MADV_DONTNEED), which break apps that
rely on this for zeroing out memory [1]. Improve the situation by doing
a passthrough when the range in question is a host-page-aligned
anonymous mapping.

This is based on the patches from Simon Hausmann [2] and Chris Fallin
[3]. The structure is taken from Simon's patch. The PAGE_MAP_ANONYMOUS
bits are superseded by commit 26bab757d4 ("linux-user: Introduce
PAGE_ANON"). In the end the patch acts like the one from Chris: we
either pass-through the entire syscall, or do nothing, since doing this
only partially would not help the affected applications much. Finally,
add some extra checks to match the behavior of the Linux kernel [4].
