uprobes: Use vm_special_mapping to name the XOL vma
Change xol_add_vma() to use _install_special_mapping(), this way we can name the vma installed by uprobes. Currently it looks like private anonymous mapping, this is confusing and complicates the debugging. With this change /proc/$pid/maps reports "[uprobes]". As a side effect this will cause core dumps to include the XOL vma and I think this is good; this can help to debug the problem if the app crashed because it was probed.
