followup on mm patches

[Willy Tarreau]

Hi Guys,

Linus just merged the next patches we need to backport :

commit bd726c90b6b8ce87602208701b208a208e6d5600
Author: Helge Deller <deller@gmx.de>
Date:   Mon Jun 19 17:34:05 2017 +0200

    Allow stack to grow up to address space limit
    
commit f4cb767d76cf7ee72f97dd76f6cfa6c76a5edc89
Author: Hugh Dickins <hughd@google.com>
Date:   Tue Jun 20 02:10:44 2017 -0700

    mm: fix new crash in unmapped_area_topdown()
    
On top of this for 3.18, 3.16 and 3.10, Hugh provided us with fixes for
my backports, and likely we'll get another update soon from Oleg since
Cyrill reported a regression on a test program that's address by removing
some apparently incorrect old code.

Willy

I have meetings all day here in China and will try to get to the updates
from Hugh later tonight.  Hugh, thanks so much for taking the time to
review the backports, and also Willy, thanks for doing the work here
too.
