Subject: [PATCH] mm: Fix hiding the stack guard page in proc

Looking at the other changes I believe that the logic for proc also needs to
look at the previous vma to decide whether to hide the first page of it or not.
The following patch against current head should fix that (only compile tested here .
I only made the change to task_mmu.c here. But basically its the same check as
in mlock.c. Maybe its would be worth moving the inlines to mm.h.
