mm: madvise: skip unmapped vma holes passed to process_madvise

Browse Source 
commit 08095d6310 upstream.

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.
