[Devel] [RFC] checkpoint: un-blacklist VM_NORESERVE

[Nathan Lynch]

While a region mapped with MAP_NORESERVE may segv on a write in
low-memory conditions, reading it (as we do during checkpoint) is
fine.  Remove the VM_NORESERVE flag from CKPT_VMA_NOT_SUPPORTED.

Oren, what do you think about this?  I've tested this lightly with no
apparent problems; is there some reason I'm missing to not support
MAP_NORESERVE regions?
