tools/vm/page-types.c: page-cache sniffing feature

After this patch 'page-types' can walk over a file's mappings and
analyze populated page cache pages mostly without disturbing its state.

It maps chunk of file, marks VMA as MADV_RANDOM to turn off readahead,
pokes VMA via mincore() to determine cached pages, triggers page-fault
only for them, and finally gathers information via pagemap/kpageflags.
Before unmap it marks VMA as MADV_SEQUENTIAL for ignoring reference
bits.

usage: page-types -f <path>

If <path> is directory it will analyse all files in all subdirectories.

Symlinks are not followed as well as mount points.  Hardlinks aren't
handled, they'll be dumped as many times as they are found.  Recursive
walk brings all dentries into dcache and populates page cache of
block-devices aka 'Buffers'.

Probably it's worth to add ioctl for dumping file page cache as array of
PFNs as a replacement for this hackish juggling with
mmap/madvise/mincore/pagemap.  Also recursive walk could be replaced
with dumping cached inodes via some ioctl or debugfs interface followed
by openning them via open_by_handle_at, this would fix hardlinks
handling and unneeded population of dcache and buffers.  This interface
might be used as data source for constructing readahead plans and for
background optimizations of actively used files.

collateral changes:
+ fix 64-bit LFS: define _FILE_OFFSET_BITS instead of _LARGEFILE64_SOURCE
+ replace lseek + read with single pread
+ make show_page_range() reusable after flush

usage example:

  ~/src/linux/tools/vm$ sudo ./page-types -L -f page-types
  foffset offset    flags
  page-types       Inode: 2229277       Size: 89065 (22 pages)
