Subject[PATCH v2 2/3] kill MMF_DUMPABLE and MMF_DUMP_SECURELY
Nobody actually needs MMF_DUMPABLE/MMF_DUMP_SECURELY, they
are only used to enforce the encoding of SUID_DUMP_* enum
in mm->flags & MMF_DUMPABLE_MASK.

Now that set_dumpable() updates both bits atomically we can
kill them and simply store the value "as is" in 2 lower bits.
