Cover letter [patch 0/4] mm: A few memory tracker fixes

Hi! Here is a few fixes for memory softdirty tracker inspired by LKML thread https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/3/18/709 . It turned out that indeed I've missed to setup softdirty bit on file mappings in a few places. But it seems the only intensive user of this feature is the criu tool where we dump/restore shared memory areas completely regardless the softdirty bit status and shared file mapped areas are not dumped at all so I'm not sure if the patches are stable material. Please take a look, thanks.
