Subject: [PATCH] proc: revert /proc/<pid>/maps [stack:TID] annotation

b764375 ("procfs: mark thread stack correctly in proc/<pid>/maps")
added [stack:TID] annotation to /proc/<pid>/maps. Finding the task of
a stack VMA requires walking the entire thread list, turning this into
quadratic behavior: a thousand threads means a thousand stacks, so the
rendering of /proc/<pid>/maps needs to look at a million threads. The
cost is not in proportion to the usefulness as described in the patch.

Drop the [stack:TID] annotation to make /proc/<pid>/maps (and
/proc/<pid>/numa_maps) usable again for higher thread counts.

The [stack] annotation inside /proc/<pid>/task/<tid>/maps is retained,
as identifying the stack VMA there is an O(1) operation.

 The /proc/PID/task/TID/maps is a view of the virtual memory from the viewpoint
