mm/fs: route MADV_REMOVE to FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE
Now tmpfs supports hole-punching via fallocate(), switch madvise_remove() to use do_fallocate() instead of vmtruncate_range(): which extends madvise(,,MADV_REMOVE) support from tmpfs to ext4, ocfs2 and xfs. There is one more user of vmtruncate_range() in our tree, staging/android's ashmem_shrink(): convert it to use do_fallocate() too (but if its unpinned areas are already unmapped - I don't know - then it would do better to use shmem_truncate_range() directly).
