Merge #15600: lockedpool: When possible, use madvise to avoid including sensitive information in core dumps
d831831822885717e9841f1ff67c19add566fa45 lockedpool: When possible, use madvise to avoid including sensitive information in core dumps (Luke Dashjr)
Pull request description:
If we're mlocking something, it's because it's sensitive information. Therefore, don't include it in core dump files, ~~and unmap it from forked processes~~.
The return value is not checked because the madvise calls might fail on older kernels as a rule (unsure).
