[PATCH] Export mlock information via smaps

[Nikanth Karthikesan <knikanth@suse.de>]

Currently there is no way to find whether a process has locked its pages in
memory or not. And which of the memory regions are locked in memory.

Add a new field to perms field 'l' to export this information. The information
exported via maps file is not changed.
