While looking around in /proc on my v4.14.52 system I noticed that
all processes got a lot of "Locked" memory in /proc/*/smaps. A lot
more memory than a regular user can usually lock with mlock().
commit 493b0e9d945fa9dfe96be93ae41b4ca4b6fdb317 (v4.14-rc1) seems
to have changed the behavior of "Locked".

mm: add /proc/pid/smaps_rollup
Before that commit the code was like this. Notice the VM_LOCKED
check.

After that commit Locked is now the same as Pss. This looks like a
mistake.

The latest git has changed a bit but the functionality is the
same.
