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.

Better late than never, I've at last reviewed the madvise vma merging
going into 2.6.13. Remove a pointless check and fix two little bugs -
a simple test (with /proc/<pid>/maps hacked to show ReadHints) showed
both mismerges in practice: though being madvise, neither was disastrous.
1. Correct placement of the success label in madvise_behavior: as in
mprotect_fixup and mlock_fixup, it is necessary to update vm_flags
when vma_merge succeeds (to handle the exceptional Case 8 noted in
the comments above vma_merge itself).
2. Correct initial value of prev when starting part way into a vma: as
in sys_mprotect and do_mlock, it needs to be set to vma in this case
(vma_merge handles only that minimum of cases shown in its comments).
3. If find_vma_prev sets prev, then the vma it returns is prev->vm_next,
so it's pointless to make that same assignment again in sys_madvise.

The madvise() system call returns -EBADF for areas which does not map to
files, only for *behaviour* request MADV_WILLNEED.
According to man pages, madvise returns :
EBADF - the map exists, but the area maps something that isn't a file.
Fixes bug 2995.

This patch removes redundant VM_ClearReadHint from mm/madvice.c which was
left there by Prasanna's patch.

This attempts to merge back the split maps. This code is mostly copied
from Chrisw's mlock merging from post 2.6.11 trees. The only difference is
in munmapped_error handling. Also passed prev to willneed/dontneed,
eventhogh they do not handle it now, since I felt it will be cleaner,
instead of handling prev in madvise_vma in some cases and in subfunction in
some cases.

This attempts to avoid splittings when it is not needed, that is when
vm_flags are same as new flags. The idea is from the <2.6.11 mlock_fixup
and others. This will provide base for the next madvise merging patch.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
