The cost of faulting in all memory to be locked can be very high when
working with large mappings. If only portions of the mapping will be
used this can incur a high penalty for locking. This patch introduces
the ability to request that pages are not pre-faulted, but are placed on
the unevictable LRU when they are finally faulted in.
To keep accounting checks out of the page fault path, users are billed
for the entire mapping lock as if MAP_LOCKED was used.
