Most of it is code shuffling in addition to the feature change I
mentioned earlier. I've elaborated on the changes inline.

I extended the documentation a bit to give an example of how
/proc/PID/task/TID/maps would look like. This reflects the feature
change that KOSAKI-san requested (keeping process stack as [stack] in
/proc/PID/maps).

The request to keep process stack marked as [stack] meant an
additional nested condition, so I cleaned up the code like you had
suggested earlier.

I had duplicated the vm_is_stack functions for mmu and nommu in
memory.c and nommu.c, which I unified and moved to util.c (above),
which is built in both mmu and nommu and also seemed like a good
enough place for it since it is a utility function. util.c already
includes sched.h, which is why the sched.h inclusions are not needed
anymore.

I forgot to mention how I have tested this:

* Build and functionality test on x86_64
* Build test for i386
* Build test for nommu with a bit of a hack; removing mmu code in x86
and building it as if it were nommu.
