[PATCH v2 2/3] uprobes: use vm_special_mapping to name the xol vma

[Oleg Nesterov]

Change xol_add_vma() to use _install_special_mapping(), this way
we can name the vma installed by uprobes. Currently it looks like
private anonymous mapping, this is confusing and complicates the
debugging. With this change /proc/$pid/maps reports "[uprobes]".

As a side effect this will cause core dumps to include xol vma and
I think this is good; this can help to debug the problem if the app
crashed because it was probed.
