[PATCH v12 12/26] mm: Introduce VM_SHSTK for shadow stack memory

A Shadow Stack PTE must be read-only and have _PAGE_DIRTY set. However,
read-only and Dirty PTEs also exist for copy-on-write (COW) pages. These
two cases are handled differently for page faults. Introduce VM_SHSTK to
track shadow stack VMAs.

- Add VM_SHSTK case to arch_vma_name().
- Revise the commit log to explain why adding a new VM flag.
