    Rename VM_NODUMP into VM_DONTDUMP: this name matches other negative flags:
    VM_DONTEXPAND, VM_DONTCOPY.  Currently this flag used only for
    sys_madvise.  The next patch will use it for replacing the outdated flag
    VM_RESERVED.
    
    Also forbid madvise(MADV_DODUMP) for special kernel mappings VM_SPECIAL
    (VM_IO | VM_DONTEXPAND | VM_RESERVED | VM_PFNMAP)
