Otherwise the kernel ends up with multiple copies:
$ nm vmlinux | grep dummy_vm_ops
ffffffff81e4ea00 d dummy_vm_ops.2
ffffffff81e11760 d dummy_vm_ops.254
ffffffff81e406e0 d dummy_vm_ops.4
ffffffff81e3c780 d dummy_vm_ops.7
While here prefix it with vma_.
[if someone has better ideas where to put it, please move it]
