Subject: [PATCH 3/4] coredump: ELF-FDPIC: enable to omit anonymous shared
    memory

This patch enables to omit anonymous shared memory from an ELF-FDPIC
formatted core file when it is generated.

The debug messages from maydump() in fs/binfmt_elf_fdpic.c are changed
appropriately so that we can know what kind of memory segments are
dumped or not.
