[PATCH] util: fix building when glibc has a stub process_vm_readv

If you have a newer glibc which provides process_vm_readv, but it is built
against older kernel headers which lack __NR_process_vm_readv, the library
will contain a stub implementation that just returns ENOSYS.  Autoconf
checks for this case explicitly and will declare it as unavailable.  So we
end up in a case where the headers provide the prototype, but autoconf has
not defined HAVE_PROCESS_VM_READV, so we hit the same build failure again:

util.c:738:16: error: static declaration of 'process_vm_readv' follows non-static declaration
/usr/include/bits/uio.h:58:16: note: previous declaration of 'process_vm_readv' was here

So rename our local function to something unique, and add a define so the
callers all hit the right place.

* util.c (strace_process_vm_readv): Rename from process_vm_readv.
(process_vm_readv): Define to strace_process_vm_readv.
