userfaultfd: non-cooperative: add madvise() event for MADV_FREE request

MADV_FREE is identical to MADV_DONTNEED from the point of view of uffd
monitor.  The monitor has to stop handling #PF events in the range being
freed.  We are reusing userfaultfd_remove callback along with the logic
required to re-get and re-validate the VMA which may change or disappear
because userfaultfd_remove releases mmap_sem.
