This patch renames VM_NODUMP into VM_DONTDUMP: this name matches to other
negative flags: VM_DONTEXPAND, VM_DONTCOPY. Currently this flag used only for
sys_madvise next patch will use it for replacing outdated flag VM_RESERVED.
Also this patch forbids madvise(MADV_DODUMP) for special kernel mappings
VM_SPECIAL (VM_IO | VM_DONTEXPAND | VM_RESERVED | VM_PFNMAP)
