Subject: [PATCH v7 22/41] mm/mmap: Add shadow stack pages to memory accounting

From: Yu-cheng Yu <yu-cheng.yu@...el.com>

The x86 Control-flow Enforcement Technology (CET) feature includes a new
type of memory called shadow stack. This shadow stack memory has some
unusual properties, which requires some core mm changes to function
properly.

Account shadow stack pages to stack memory. Do this by adding a
VM_SHADOW_STACK check in is_stack_mapping().

v7:
 - Change is_stack_mapping() to know about VM_SHADOW_STACK so the
   additions in vm_stat_account() can be dropped. (David Hildenbrand)

v3:
 - Remove unneeded VM_SHADOW_STACK check in accountable_mapping()
   (Kirill)

v2:
 - Remove is_shadow_stack_mapping() and just change it to directly bitwise
   and VM_SHADOW_STACK.

Yu-cheng v26:
 - Remove redundant #ifdef CONFIG_MMU.

Yu-cheng v25:
 - Remove #ifdef CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_SHADOW_STACK for is_shadow_stack_mapping().
