same values. This results in build errors such as

./arch/alpha/include/uapi/asm/mman.h:53:0: error: "MADV_FREE" redefined
./arch/alpha/include/uapi/asm/mman.h:50:0: note:
	this is the location of the previous definition

for the affected architectures.

Fixes: 21f55b018ba5 ("arch/*/include/uapi/asm/mman.h: : let MADV_FREE have same value for all architectures")

On parisc both definitions of MADV_FREE are 8, so I do not face the compiler error.
Nevertheless it should be cleaned up.

Acked-by: Helge Deller <deller@gmx.de>  (for parisc)

Thanks!
