Subject: [PATCH 3/9] mm: Introduce VM_SHSTK for shadow stack memory

VM_SHSTK indicates a shadow stack memory area.

A shadow stack PTE must be read-only and dirty.  For non shadow
stack, we use a spare bit of the 64-bit PTE for dirty.  The PTE
changes are in the next patch.

There is no more spare bit in the 32-bit PTE (except for PAE) and
the shadow stack is not implemented for the 32-bit kernel.
