This patch breaks criu, criu has one places where a file name is generated
as map_files/%p-%p

openat(1048572, "map_files/0x7f9912dd5000-0x7f9912de4000", O_RDWR) = -1 ENOENT 
(No such file or directory) <0.000015>

And this code worked before this patch and it doesn't work with this
patch. And you have to know that we never break user-space programs ;)

But seriously, the patch looks good to me, but I would prefer to not queue
it into stable kernels.

Thanks,
Andrei
