[PATCH 00/20] mm/vma: convert vm_flags_t to vma_flags_t in vma code

["Lorenzo Stoakes (Oracle)" <ljs@kernel.org>]

This series converts a lot of the existing use of the legacy vm_flags_t
data type to the new vma_flags_t type which replaces it.

In order to do so it adds a number of additional helpers:

* vma_flags_empty() - Determines whether a vma_flags_t value has no bits
  set.

* vma_flags_and() - Performs a bitwise AND between two vma_flags_t values.

* vma_flags_diff_pair() - Determines which flags are not shared between a
  pair of VMA flags (typically non-constant values)

* append_vma_flags() - Similar to mk_vma_flags(), but allows a vma_flags_t
  value to be specified (typically a constant value) which will be copied
  and appended to to create a new vma_flags_t value, with additional flags
  specified to append to it.

* vma_flags_same() - Determines if a vma_flags_t value is exactly equal to
  a set of VMA flags.

* vma_flags_same_mask() - Determines if a vma_flags_t value is eactly equal
  to another vma_flags_t value (typically constant).

* vma_flags_same_pair() - Determines if a pair of vma_flags_t values are
  exactly equal to one another (typically both non-constant).

* vma_flags_to_legacy() - Converts a vma_flags_t value to a vm_flags_t
  value, used to enable more iterative introduction of the use of
  vma_flags_t.

* legacy_to_vma_flags() - Converts a vm_flags_t value to a vma_flags-t
  value, for the same purpose.

* vma_test() - Tests whether a VMA's flags contain s specific singular VMA
  flag.

* vma_test_any() - Tests whether a VMA's flags contain any of a set of VMA
  flags.

* vma_test_any_mask() - Tests whether a VMA's flags contain any of the
  flags specified in another, typically constant, vma_flags_t value.

* vma_clear_flags() - Clears a specific set of VMA flags from a vma_flags_t
  value.

* vma_clear_flags_mask() - Clears those flag set in a vma_flags_t value
  (typically constant) from a (typically not constant) vma_flags_t value.

The series mostly focuses on the the VMA specific code, especially that
contained in mm/vma.c and mm/vma.h.

It updates both brk() and mmap() logic to utils vma_flags_t values as much
as is practiaclly possible at this point, changing surrounding logic to be
able to do so.

It also updates the vma_modify_xxx() functions where they interact with VMA
flags directly to use vm_flags_t values where possible.

There is extensive testing added in the VMA userland tests to assert that
all of these new VMA flag functions work correctly.
