[PATCH] madvise() does not always return -EBADF on non-file mapped area 

The madvise() system call returns -EBADF for areas which does not map to
files, only for *behaviour* request MADV_WILLNEED.

According to man pages, madvise returns :

EBADF - the map exists, but the area maps something that isn't a file.

Fixes bug 2995.
