[PATCH 1/3] Add fadvise interface wrapper

[Ben Gamari <bgamari.foss@gmail.com>]

With recent discussion on the LKML[1], it seems likely that Linux will
finally support posix_fadvise in a useful way with the FADV_DONTNEED
flag. This should allow us to minimize the effect of rsync on the
system's working set. Add the necessary wrapper to syscall.c.
