mm/mseal: update madvise() logic

The madvise() logic is inexplicably performed in mm/mseal.c - this ought
to be located in mm/madvise.c.

Additionally can_modify_vma_madv() is inconsistently named and, in
combination with is_ro_anon(), is very confusing logic.

Put a static function in mm/madvise.c instead - can_madvise_modify() -
that spells out exactly what's happening.  Also explicitly check for an
anon VMA.

Also add commentary to explain what's going on.

Essentially - we disallow discarding of data in mseal()'d mappings in
instances where the user couldn't otherwise write to that data.

We retain the existing behaviour here regarding MAP_PRIVATE mappings of
file-backed mappings, which entails some complexity - while this, strictly
speaking - appears to violate mseal() semantics, it may interact badly
with users which expect to be able to madvise(MADV_DONTNEED) .text
mappings for instance.

We may revisit this at a later date.

No functional change intended.
