Subject: [PATCH RFC/RFT 2/3] mm: helper `is_shadow_stack_vma` to check
 shadow stack vma

VM_SHADOW_STACK (alias to VM_HIGH_ARCH_5) is used to encode shadow stack
VMA on three architectures (x86 shadow stack, arm GCS and RISC-V shadow
stack). In case architecture doesn't implement shadow stack, it's VM_NONE
Introducing a helper `is_shadow_stack_vma` to determine shadow stack vma
or not.
