Subject: useless kernel.maps_protect and more
commit 5096add84b9e96e2e0a9c72675c442fe5433388a
"proc: maps protection"
commit 831830b5a2b5d413407adf380ef62fe17d6fcbf2
"restrict reading from /proc/<pid>/maps to those who share ->mm or can ptrace pid"
After Al added mm_for_maps(), maps_protect stopped controlling anything,
because they're run at ->show time, but mm_for_maps() checks are done at
->start time.
Unless anyone objects, I'll remove maps_protect.
Also, logic behind second commit applies to /proc/*/pagemap , don't you
think?

watchdog, oprofile may have more registers to utilize.
