Oleg, will the following change log sound more or less fine?

Subject: c/r: prctl: Add ability to set new mm_struct::exe_file v4

When we do restore we would like to have a way to setup
a former mm_struct::exe_file so that /proc/pid/exe would
point to the original executable file a process had at
checkpoint time.

For this the PR_SET_MM_EXE_FILE code is introduced.
This option takes a file descriptor which will be
set as a source for new /proc/$pid/exe symlink.

Note it allows to change /proc/$pid/exe iif there
are no VM_EXECUTABLE vmas present for current process,
simply because this feature is a special to C/R
and mm::num_exe_file_vmas become meaningless after
that.

This feature is available iif CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE is set.
