An ability to manipulate mm_struct fields was introduced in
sake of CRIU in first place. Later we provide more suitable
and safe operation PR_SET_MM_MAP where all fields to be modifed
are passed in one structure which allows us to make more detailed
verification.

Still old interface remains present for compatibility reason
though CRIU itself already switched to PR_SET_MM_MAP on its
own long ago.

Googling didn't reveal some other users of this operation
so I think it should be safe to remove this interface.

This PR_SET_MM_AUXV should be removed too? There is not callsite to prctl_set_auxv() anymore.

Thanks,
