Implement mlock(), kind of.
Currently mlock() and friends do nothing whatsoever. However, mlocking
is directly application-visible in a number of ways; for example,
madvise(MADV_DONTNEED) and msync(MS_INVALIDATE) both fail on mlocked
regions. We handle this inconsistently: MADV_DONTNEED is too important
to not work, but MS_INVALIDATE is rejected.
Change MM to track mlocked regions in a manner consistent with Linux.
It still will not actually pin pages into host physical memory, but:
- mlock() will now cause sentry memory management to precommit mlocked
pages.
- MADV_DONTNEED and MS_INVALIDATE will interact with mlocked pages as
described above.
