[PATCH] recognize MAP_LOCKED in mmap() call

[Hubertus Franke <frankeh@watson.ibm.com>]

Andrew, at the current time an mmap() ignores a MAP_LOCKED passed to it.
The only way we can get VM_LOCKED associated with the newly created VMA
is to have previously called mlockall() on the process which sets the 
mm->def_flags != VM_LOCKED or subsequently call mlock() on the
newly created VMA.

The attached patch checks for MAP_LOCKED being passed and if so checks
the capabilities of the process. Limit checks were already in place.
