That might be unexpected change of shmem file which holds anon-vma data,
thanks to checkpoint-restore they are expoted via /proc/.../map_files

I've fixed truncate (https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/6/24/729) but there
are some other ways
to change i_size: write, fallocate and maybe something else.

We could seal this promblem (literally).
