mm: madvise: skip unmapped vma holes passed to process_madvise
The process_madvise() system call is expected to skip holes in vma passed through 'struct iovec' vector list. But do_madvise, which process_madvise() calls for each vma, returns ENOMEM in case of unmapped holes, despite the VMA is processed. Thus process_madvise() should treat ENOMEM as expected and consider the VMA passed to as processed and continue processing other vma's in the vector list. Returning -ENOMEM to user, despite the VMA is processed, will be unable to figure out where to start the next madvise.
