Create process without mappings and check

	/proc/*/maps
	/proc/*/numa_maps
	/proc/*/smaps
	/proc/*/smaps_rollup

They must be empty (excluding vsyscall page) or full of zeroes.

Retroactively this test should've caught embarassing /proc/*/smaps_rollup

Note 1:
	ProtectionKey field in /proc/*/smaps is optional,
	so check most of its contents, not everything.

Note 2:
	due to the nature of this test, child process hardly can signal
	its readiness (after unmapping everything!) to parent.
	I feel like "sleep(1)" is justified.
	If you know how to do it without sleep please tell me.

Note 3:
	/proc/*/statm is not tested but can be.
