Record SetMmapAdvice failures.

Both calls discard the madvise error. If either call fails, compaction continues without recording that the mmap hint was not applied or restored. Log each error with s.lg.Warn and zap.Error(err) while keeping the operation non-fatal.

In `@server/storage/mvcc/kvstore_compaction.go` around lines 44 - 45, Update the
SetMmapAdvice calls in the compaction flow to capture and record errors with
s.lg.Warn and zap.Error(err), both when disabling and restoring mmap advice.
Keep these failures non-fatal and preserve the existing deferred restoration
behavior.
