[PATCH] madvise: merge the maps

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.
