[PATCHv2] mm: Support compiling out madvise and fadvise

[josh-iaAMLnmF4UmaiuxdJuQwMA@public.gmane.org]

Many embedded systems will not need these syscalls, and omitting them
saves space.  Add a new EXPERT config option CONFIG_ADVISE_SYSCALLS
(default y) to support compiling them out.

bloat-o-meter:
add/remove: 0/3 grow/shrink: 0/0 up/down: 0/-2250 (-2250)
function                                     old     new   delta
sys_fadvise64                                 57       -     -57
sys_fadvise64_64                             691       -    -691
sys_madvise                                 1502       -   -1502

v2: Don't make fadvise depend on CONFIG_MMU.
