madvise.2: Explicitly list the five flags provided by posix_fadvise()
...
Over time, bit rot has afflicted this page. Since the original
text was written many new Linux-specific flags have been added.
So, now it's better to explicitly list the flags that
correspond to the POSIX analog of madvise().

perf_event_open.2: Clarify PERF_EVENT_IOC_REFRESH behavior
...
Currently the PERF_EVENT_IOC_REFRESH ioctl, when applied to a group
leader, will refresh all children. Also if a refresh value of 0
is chosen then the refresh becomes infinite (never runs out).
Back in 2011 PAPI was relying on these behaviors but I was told
that both were unsupported and subject to being removed at any time.
(See https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/5/24/337 )
However the behavior has not been changed.
This patch updates the manpage to still list the behavior as
unsupported, but removes the inaccurate description of it
only being a problem with 2.6 kernels.
