Pedro Falcato e46bc2e7eb mseal: fix is_madv_discard()
is_madv_discard did its check wrong. MADV_ flags are not bitwise,
they're normal sequential numbers. So, for instance:
	behavior & (/* ... */ | MADV_REMOVE)

tagged both MADV_REMOVE and MADV_RANDOM (bit 0 set) as discard
operations.

As a result the kernel could erroneously block certain madvises (e.g
MADV_RANDOM or MADV_HUGEPAGE) on sealed VMAs due to them sharing bits
with blocked MADV operations (e.g REMOVE or WIPEONFORK).

This is obviously incorrect, so use a switch statement instead.
