mm: Introduce VM_SHADOW_STACK for shadow stack memory
New hardware extensions implement support for shadow stack memory, such as x86 Control-flow Enforcement Technology (CET). Add a new VM flag to identify these areas, for example, to be used to properly indicate shadow stack PTEs to the hardware. Shadow stack VMA creation will be tightly controlled and limited to anonymous memory to make the implementation simpler and since that is all that is required. The solution will rely on pte_mkwrite() to create the shadow stack PTEs, so it will not be required for vm_get_page_prot() to learn how to create shadow stack memory. For this reason document that VM_SHADOW_STACK should not be mixed with VM_SHARED.
