[PATCH] madvise: Avoid returning error code -EBADF for anonymous mappings
Revert this recent correctness change: Douglas Crosher <dcrosher@scieneer.com>
reported that it broke an existing application, and that madvise() works
without error on anonymous mappings on Solaris.
This means that madvise() will remain non-standards-compliant: we should
return -EBADF for all requests against non-file-backed vma's, but Linux only
does this for MADV_WILLNEED requests.
