Commit d899bf7b (procfs: provide stack information for threads) introduced
to show stack information in /proc/{pid}/status. But it cause large
performance regression. Unfortunately /proc/{pid}/status is used ps
command too and ps is one of most important component. Because both to
take mmap_sem and page table walk are heavily operation.
If many process run, the ps performance is,
[before d899bf7b]
% perf stat ps >/dev/null

Thus, this patch revert it. Fortunately /proc/{pid}/task/{tid}/smaps
provide almost same information. we can use it.
Commit d899bf7b introduced two features:
1) Add the annotattion of [thread stack: xxxx] mark to
/proc/{pid}/task/{tid}/maps.
2) Add StackUsage field to /proc/{pid}/status.
I only revert (2), because I haven't seen (1) cause regression.

Setting a thread's comm to be something unique is a very useful ability
and is helpful for debugging complicated threaded applications. However
currently the only way to set a thread name is for the thread to name
itself via the PR_SET_NAME prctl.
However, there may be situations where it would be advantageous for a
thread dispatcher to be naming the threads its managing, rather then
having the threads self-describe themselves. This sort of behavior is
available on other systems via the pthread_setname_np() interface.
This patch exports a task's comm via proc/pid/comm and
proc/pid/task/tid/comm interfaces, and allows thread siblings to write to
these values.

This adds "norecovery" mount option which disables temporal write
access to read-only mounts or snapshots during mount/recovery.
Without this option, write access will be even performed for those
types of mounts; the temporal write access is needed to mount root
file system read-only after an unclean shutdown.
This option will be helpful when user wants to prevent any write
access to the device.
