Currently we fail to include any data on hugepages into coredump,
because VM_DONTDUMP is set on hugetlbfs's vma. This behavior was recently
introduced by commit 314e51b98 "mm: kill vma flag VM_RESERVED and
mm->reserved_vm counter". This looks to me a serious regression,
so let's fix it.
ChangeLog v3:
- move 'return 0' into a separate patch
ChangeLog v2:
- add 'return 0' in hugepage memory check
