mm: avoid wrapping vm_pgoff in mremap()
The normal mmap paths all avoid creating a mapping where the pgoff inside the mapping could wrap around due to overflow. However, an expanding mremap() can take such a non-wrapping mapping and make it bigger and cause a wrapping condition. Noticed by Robert Swiecki when running a system call fuzzer, where it caused a BUG_ON() due to terminally confusing the vma_prio_tree code. A vma dumping patch by Hugh then pinpointed the crazy wrapped case.
