Replace use of the legacy vm_flags_t flags with vma_flags_t values
throughout the madvise logic.

In order to do so, update ksm_madvise() and hugepage_madvise() to take a
vma_flags_t pointer, and update their other callers in mremap and the
powerpc KVM ultravisor code accordingly.

In the latter case we replace vm_flags_reset() with vma_overwrite_flags().
The VMA is write locked at this point, so the atomic flags preserved by
vma_overwrite_flags() cannot differ from those copied, and the behaviour
is unchanged.

No functional change intended.
