[PATCH v1 2/2] mm/madvise: add MADV_TRY_COLLAPSE to process_madvise()

[Lance Yang]

Allow MADV_TRY_COLLAPSE behavior for process_madvise(2) if the caller has
CAP_SYS_ADMIN or is requesting the collapse of its own memory.

The semantics of MADV_TRY_COLLAPSE are similar to MADV_COLLAPSE, but it
avoids direct reclaim and/or compaction, quickly failing on allocation errors.

This change enables a more flexible and efficient usage of memory collapse
operations, providing additional control to userspace applications for
system-wide THP optimization.
