It is unsafe to allow saving of secretmem areas to the hibernation
snapshot as they would be visible after the resume and this essentially
will defeat the purpose of secret memory mappings.

Prevent hibernation whenever there are active secret memory users.

Does this feature need any special handling? As it is effectivelly
unevictable memory then it should behave the same as other mlock, ramfs
which should already disable hibernation as those cannot be swapped out,
no?

As David already said, hibernation does not care about mlocked memory, so
this feature requires a special handling.
