On top of the previous "[PATCH v2 0/7] /proc/PID/*maps* fixes/cleanups"
series.

It took me much more time than I expected ;) And after 3 attempts I failed
to fix this (imho) horror step-by-step. So 1/5 simply removes the last_addr
code, and then 4/5 brings it back.

Todo:

	- Update task_nommu.c in the same way

	- Fix lock_trace() users

Oleg.
