Pavel reported that in case if vma area get unmapped and
then mapped (or expanded) in-place, the soft dirty tracker
won't be able to recognize this situation since it works on
pte level and ptes are get zapped on unmap, loosing soft
dirty bit of course.
So to resolve this situation we need to track actions
on vma level, there VM_SOFTDIRTY flag comes in. When
new vma area created (or old expanded) we set this bit,
and keep it here until application calls for clearing
soft dirty bit.
Thus when user space application track memory changes
now it can detect if vma area is renewed.
