mm: introduce vma_flags_can_grow() and vma_can_grow()

Patch series "mm: convert more vm_flags_t users to vma_flags_t", v2.

This series makes further progress in converting usage of the deprecated
vm_flags_t type to its replacement, vma_flags_t.

It focuses on mm, though updates some users of mm APIs also.

It updates:

* The core do_mmap() code path for VMA mapping.
* Unmapped area logic.
* The usage of mm->def_vma_flags.
* VMA page protection bit logic.
* General usage of VMA flags in core mm code, mlock, mprotect, mremap.


This patch (of 13):

These test whether the VMA has stack semantics, i.e.  is able to grow
upwards or downwards depending on the architecture.

In order to account for arches which do not support upward-growing stacks,
introduce VMA_GROWSUP whose definition depends on the architecture
supporting it, and use vma_flags_test_single_mask() in
vma_flags_can_grow() to account for this.

No functional change intended.
