madvise(MADV_FREE): Quick fix to time rewind.

Don't free pages in a shadowing object.  While this degrades MADV_FREE
to a no-op (and we could, instead, choose to fall back to
MADV_DONTNEED, at the cost of changing pmap_madvise), this is
presently considered a temporary fix. We may prefer to risk a little
fragmentation of the map by creating a zero/OBJT_DEFAULT entry over
top of the existing object and, simultaneously, revert to the existing
marking any pages in the former shadowing object in the advised region
as reclaimable.  At least one consumer of MADV_FREE (snmalloc) may use
mmap() to construct zeroed pages "eventually" here anyway, so the
fragmentation may be coming anyway.
