Yang Shi c02c300932 mm/madvise.c: add description for MADV_WIPEONFORK and MADV_KEEPONFORK
mm/madvise.c has a brief description about all MADV_ flags.  Add a
description for the newly added MADV_WIPEONFORK and MADV_KEEPONFORK.

Although man page has the similar information, but it'd better to keep
the consistent with other flags.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
