Subject: [PATCH 11/13] maps: Make /proc/pid/clear_refs option under CONFIG_EMBEDDED

Make /proc/pid/clear_refs option under CONFIG_EMBEDDED

This interface is primarily useful for doing memory profiling and not
much use on deployed embedded boxes. Make it optional. Together with
/proc/pid/smaps, this save a few K.
