PATCH 1/1 arch: uapi: asm: mman.h: Support MADV_FREE for madvise()

At present, kernel supports madvise(MADV_FREE), so can benefit to all related architectures (can grep MADV_WILLNEED or MADV_REMOVE in "arch/" to know about all related architectures).

The related git commit: "4fb10ba mm: support madvise(MADV_FREE)".

The related error (with allmodconfig under parisc):

CC mm/madvise.o
mm/madvise.c: In function 'madvise_need_mmap_write':
mm/madvise.c:42:7: error: 'MADV_FREE' undeclared (first use in this function)

    case MADV_FREE:
       ^
  mm/madvise.c:42:7: note: each undeclared identifier is reported only once for each function it appears in
  mm/madvise.c: In function 'madvise_vma':
  mm/madvise.c:534:7: error: 'MADV_FREE' undeclared (first use in this function)
    case MADV_FREE:
       ^
  mm/madvise.c: In function 'madvise_behavior_valid':
  mm/madvise.c:561:7: error: 'MADV_FREE' undeclared (first use in this function)
    case MADV_FREE:
       ^

make[1]: *** [mm/madvise.o] Error 1
