[PATCH v2 4/6] mm: replace vma->vm_flags indirect modification in ksm_madvise

[Suren Baghdasaryan]

Replace indirect modifications to vma->vm_flags with calls to modifier
functions to be able to track flag changes and to keep vma locking
correctness. Add a BUG_ON check in ksm_madvise() to catch indirect
vm_flags modification attempts.
