mm: make do_madvise() available internally
This is in preparation for enabling this functionality through io_uring. Add a helper that is just exporting what sys_madvise() does, and have the system call use it. No functional changes in this patch. Reviewed-by: Pavel Begunkov <asml.silence@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>
