block/file-posix: implement bdrv_co_invalidate_cache() on Linux
On Linux posix_fadvise(POSIX_FADV_DONTNEED) invalidates pages*. Use
this to drop page cache on the destination host during shared storage
migration. This way the destination host will read the latest copy of
the data and will not use stale data from the page cache.
The flow is as follows:
1. Source host writes out all dirty pages and inactivates drives.
2. QEMU_VM_EOF is sent on migration stream.
3. Destination host invalidates caches before accessing drives.
This patch enables live migration even with -drive cache.direct=off.
* Terms and conditions may apply, please see patch for details.
