While looking around in /proc on my v4.14.52 system I noticed that
all processes got a lot of "Locked" memory in /proc/*/smaps. A lot
more memory than a regular user can usually lock with mlock().

commit 493b0e9d945fa9dfe96be93ae41b4ca4b6fdb317 (v4.14-rc1) seems
to have changed the behavior of "Locked".

Thanks for fixing that. I submitted a patch [1] for this bug and some
others a while ago, but the patch didn't make it into the tree because
or wasn't split up correctly or something, and I had to do other work.
