UPSTREAM: mm: remove duplicated vma->vm_flags check when expanding stack
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. The usages of this function are as below: A:fs/exec.c ret = expand_stack_locked(vma, stack_base); if (ret) ret = -EFAULT; or B:mm/memory.c mm/mmap.c if (expand_stack_locked(vma, addr)) return NULL; which means the return value will not propagate to other places, so I believe there is no user-visible effects of this change, and it's unnecessary to backport to earlier versions.
