x86/mm: care about shadow stack guard gap during placement
When memory is being placed, mmap() will take care to respect the guard gaps of certain types of memory (VM_SHADOWSTACK, VM_GROWSUP and VM_GROWSDOWN). In order to ensure guard gaps between mappings, mmap() needs to consider two things: 1. That the new mapping isn't placed in an any existing mappings guard gaps. 2. That the new mapping isn't placed such that any existing mappings are not in *its* guard gaps. The longstanding behavior of mmap() is to ensure 1, but not take any care around 2. So for example, if there is a PAGE_SIZE free area, and a mmap() with a PAGE_SIZE size, and a type that has a guard gap is being placed, mmap() may place the shadow stack in the PAGE_SIZE free area. Then the mapping that is supposed to have a guard gap will not have a gap to the adjacent VMA. Now that the vm_flags is passed into the arch get_unmapped_area()'s, and vm_unmapped_area() is ready to consider it, have VM_SHADOW_STACK's get guard gap consideration for scenario 2.
