Revert "mm: madvise: skip unmapped vma holes passed to process_madvise"

This reverts commit 06a4038acf08 ("mm: madvise: skip unmapped vma holes
passed to process_madvise") as process_madvise() fails to return the
exact processed bytes in other cases too.

As an example: if process_madvise() hits mlocked pages after processing
some initial bytes passed in [start, end), it just returns EINVAL
although some bytes are processed.  Thus making an exception only for
ENOMEM is partially fixing the problem of returning the proper advised
bytes.

Thus revert this patch and return proper bytes advised.
