This clashes with another change currently in linux-next:

	81d056997385 userfaultfd: add VM_UFFD_MISSING and VM_UFFD_WP

Adding Andrea for visibility.

I noticed this because I was trying to make selftests/vm/mlock2-tests
work to see if the new mlock2 syscall would work on ARM. It didn't, so I
had to investigate and noticed that two symbolic names resolve to the
same value, which results in the mnemonics table (first hunk above)
overwriting the VM_LOCKONFAULT entry with the VM_UFFD_WP entry.

I've applied the following patch locally to fix this up.

Andrew, I think both of those patches came in via your tree, so perhaps
the best thing would be to squash the below (provided everybody agrees
that it's the right fix) into Eric's patch, adding the VM_LOCKONFAULT
flag?

Subject: [PATCH] mm: Fix VM_LOCKONFAULT clash with VM_UFFD_WP

Currently two patches in linux-next add new VM flags and unfortunately
two flags end up using the same value. This results for example in the
/proc/pid/smaps file not listing the VM_LOCKONFAULT flag, which breaks
tools/testing/selftests/vm/mlock2-tests.
