Cyrill Gorcunov 34228d473e mm: ignore VM_SOFTDIRTY on VMA merging 
The VM_SOFTDIRTY bit affects vma merge routine: if two VMAs has all bits
in vm_flags matched except dirty bit the kernel can't longer merge them
and this forces the kernel to generate new VMAs instead.

It finally may lead to the situation when userspace application reaches
vm.max_map_count limit and get crashed in worse case

Initial problem came from missed VM_SOFTDIRTY in do_brk() routine but
even if we would set up VM_SOFTDIRTY here, there is still a way to
prevent VMAs from merging: one can call

 | echo 4 > /proc/$PID/clear_refs

and clear all VM_SOFTDIRTY over all VMAs presented in memory map, then
new do_brk() will try to extend old VMA and finds that dirty bit doesn't
match thus new VMA will be generated.

As discussed with Pavel, the right approach should be to ignore
VM_SOFTDIRTY bit when we're trying to merge VMAs and if merge successed
we mark extended VMA with dirty bit where needed.
