[PATCH v1 0/3] util/oslib-posix: Support MADV_POPULATE_WRITE for os_mem_prealloc()

[David Hildenbrand]

#1 adds support for MADV_POPULATE_WRITE, #2 cleans up the code to avoid
global variables and prepare for concurrency and #3 makes os_mem_prealloc()
safe to be called from multiple threads concurrently.

Details regarding MADV_POPULATE_WRITE can be found in introducing upstream
Linux commit 4ca9b3859dac ("mm/madvise: introduce
MADV_POPULATE_(READ|WRITE) to prefault page tables") and in the latest man
page patch [1].
