If you change the maps format, you'll need to update task_nommu.c too.

I think the width needs to be adjusted for the new character.

Have you checked that no userspace tools that parse "maps" will break with
this flag addition?

IIUC, the smaps file already includes the locked information in VmFlags as
"lo" (see show_smap_vma_flags), so I think you probably don't want this
patch at all.
