Subject: [PATCH] mm: remove duplicated vma->vm_flags check when expanding stack

From: Xiu Jianfeng <xiujianfeng@...wei.com>

expand_upwards() and expand_downwards() will return -EFAULT if VM_GROWSUP
or VM_GROWSDOWN is not correctly set in vma->vm_flags, however in
!CONFIG_STACK_GROWSUP case, expand_stack_locked() returns -EINVAL first
if !(vma->vm_flags & VM_GROWSDOWN) before calling expand_downwards(), to
keep the consistency with CONFIG_STACK_GROWSUP case, remove this check.

Fixes: f440fa1ac955 ("mm: make find_extend_vma() fail if write lock not held")
