[PATCH 1/2] Revert "mm: madvise: skip unmapped vma holes passed to process_madvise"

[Charan Teja Kalla]

This reverts commit 08095d6310a7 ("mm: madvise: skip unmapped vma holes
passed to process_madvise") as process_madvise() fails to return exact
processed bytes at other cases too. As an example: if the
process_madvise() hits mlocked pages after processing some initial bytes
passed in [start, end), it just returns EINVAL though some bytes are
processed. Thus making an exception only for ENOMEM is partially fixing
the problem of returning the proper advised bytes.

Thus revert this patch and return proper bytes advised, if there any,
for all the error types in the following patch.
