mm: prepare VM_DONTDUMP for using in drivers
Rename VM_NODUMP into VM_DONTDUMP: this name matches other negative flags:
VM_DONTEXPAND, VM_DONTCOPY. Currently this flag used only for
sys_madvise. The next patch will use it for replacing the outdated flag
VM_RESERVED.
Also forbid madvise(MADV_DODUMP) for special kernel mappings VM_SPECIAL
(VM_IO | VM_DONTEXPAND | VM_RESERVED | VM_PFNMAP)
