Userspace can set the name for a region of memory by calling
prctl(PR_SET_VMA, PR_SET_VMA_ANON_NAME, start, len, (unsigned long)name);
Setting the name to NULL clears it.
Maybe I am missing this part but I do not see this being handled
anywhere.

You want to make this depend on CONFIG_PROC_FS.

unless I am missing something NULL name would lead to an error rather
than a name clearing as advertised above.
