When remapping an anonymous, private mapping, if MREMAP_DONTUNMAP is set,
the source mapping will not be removed.  The remap operation will be
performed as it would have been normally by moving over the page tables to
the new mapping.  The old vma will have any locked flags cleared, have no
pagetables, and any userfaultfds that were watching that range will
continue watching it.

For a mapping that is shared or not anonymous, MREMAP_DONTUNMAP will cause
the mremap() call to fail.  Because MREMAP_DONTUNMAP always results in
moving a VMA you MUST use the MREMAP_MAYMOVE flag, it's not possible to
resize a VMA while also moving with MREMAP_DONTUNMAP so old_len must
always be equal to the new_len otherwise it will return -EINVAL.

We hope to use this in Chrome OS where with userfaultfd we could write an
anonymous mapping to disk without having to STOP the process or worry
about VMA permission changes.

This feature also has a use case in Android, Lokesh Gidra has said that
"As part of using userfaultfd for GC, We'll have to move the physical
pages of the java heap to a separate location.  For this purpose mremap
will be used.  Without the MREMAP_DONTUNMAP flag, when I mremap the java
heap, its virtual mapping will be removed as well.  Therefore, we'll
require performing mmap immediately after.  This is not only time
consuming but also opens a time window where a native thread may call mmap
and reserve the java heap's address range for its own usage.  This flag
solves the problem."
