Kernel: Make purgeable memory a VMObject level concept (again)

Browse source 
This patch changes the semantics of purgeable memory.

- AnonymousVMObject now has a "purgeable" flag. It can only be set when
  constructing the object. (Previously, all anonymous memory was
  effectively purgeable.)

- AnonymousVMObject now has a "volatile" flag. It covers the entire
  range of physical pages. (Previously, we tracked ranges of volatile
  pages, effectively making it a page-level concept.)

- Non-volatile objects maintain a physical page reservation via the
  committed pages mechanism, to ensure full coverage for page faults.

- When an object is made volatile, it relinquishes any unused committed
  pages immediately. If later made non-volatile again, we then attempt
  to make a new committed pages reservation. If this fails, we return
  ENOMEM to userspace.

mmap() now creates purgeable objects if passed the MAP_PURGEABLE option
together with MAP_ANONYMOUS. anon_create() memory is always purgeable.
