[PATCH v2 14/14] libvhost-user: Mark mmap'ed region memory as MADV_DONTDUMP

[David Hildenbrand <david@redhat.com>]

We already use MADV_NORESERVE to deal with sparse memory regions. Let's
also set madvise(MADV_DONTDUMP), otherwise a crash of the process can
result in us allocating all memory in the mmap'ed region for dumping
purposes.

This change implies that the mmap'ed rings won't be included in a
coredump. If ever required for debugging purposes, we could mark only
the mapped rings MADV_DODUMP.

Ignore errors during madvise() for now.
