mm, madvise: fail with ENOMEM when splitting vma will hit max_map_count

Browse Source 
If madvise(2) advice will result in the underlying vma being split and
the number of areas mapped by the process will exceed
/proc/sys/vm/max_map_count as a result, return ENOMEM instead of EAGAIN.

EAGAIN is returned by madvise(2) when a kernel resource, such as slab,
is temporarily unavailable.  It indicates that userspace should retry
the advice in the near future.  This is important for advice such as
MADV_DONTNEED which is often used by malloc implementations to free
memory back to the system: we really do want to free memory back when
madvise(2) returns EAGAIN because slab allocations (for vmas, anon_vmas,
or mempolicies) cannot be allocated.

Encountering /proc/sys/vm/max_map_count is not a temporary failure,
however, so return ENOMEM to indicate this is a more serious issue.  A
followup patch to the man page will specify this behavior.
