FROMLIST: mm/madvise: add MADV_WILLNEED to process_madvise()

There is a usecase in Android that an app process's memory is swapped
out by process_madvise() with MADV_PAGEOUT, such as the memory is
swapped to zram or a backing device. When the process is scheduled to
running, like switch to foreground, multiple page faults may cause the
app dropped frames.

To reduce the problem, SMS can read-ahead memory of the process
immediately when the app switches to forground.
Calling process_madvise() with MADV_WILLNEED can meet this need.
