Use linux specific PR_SET_VMA_ANON_NAME (introduced in v5.17) to set ram
block name in the kernel. This makes each ram block distinguishable and
can help debugging and inspection. The names of ram blocks are shown in
/proc/pid/maps like this:

  7f00e9400000-7f00f1400000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0      [anon:pc.ram]
  7f0115200000-7f0115201000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0      [anon:/rom@etc/acpi/rsdp]
  7f0115400000-7f0115410000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0      [anon:/rom@etc/table-loader]
  7f0115600000-7f0115800000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0      [anon:/rom@etc/acpi/tables]
  7f0115a00000-7f0115a40000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0      [anon:e1000.rom]

Nit: I'd suggest placing that directly next to the 
CONFIG_PRCTL_PR_SET_TIMERSLACK check.

We might not have anon memory. I assume that we expect that the prctl 
will simply silently fail (maybe worth a comment) in case we have !anon 
memory.

I assume new_block->mr->name should be set in all cases we care about, 
so LGTM.
