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.
