holepunch: fix mmap_sem i_mutex deadlock

sys_madvise has down_write of mmap_sem, then madvise_remove calls
vmtruncate_range which takes i_mutex and i_alloc_sem: no, we can
easily devise deadlocks from that ordering.

madvise_remove drop mmap_sem while calling vmtruncate_range: luckily,
since madvise_remove doesn't split or merge vmas, it's easy to handle
this case with a NULL prev, without restructuring sys_madvise.  (Though
sad to retake mmap_sem when it's unlikely to be needed, and certainly
down_read is sufficient for MADV_REMOVE, unlike the other madvices.)
