mm/madvise: add MADV_COLLAPSE to process_madvise()

Allow MADV_COLLAPSE behavior for process_madvise(2) if caller has
CAP_SYS_ADMIN or is requesting collapse of it's own memory.

This is useful for the development of userspace agents that seek to
optimize THP utilization system-wide by using userspace signals to
prioritize what memory is most deserving of being THP-backed.
