[RFC PATCH v1 09/28] mm: abstract shadow stack vma behind `arch_is_shadow_stack`

[debug at rivosinc.com]

From: Deepak Gupta <debug at rivosinc.com>

x86 has used VM_SHADOW_STACK (alias to VM_HIGH_ARCH_5) to encode shadow
stack VMA. VM_SHADOW_STACK is thus not possible on 32bit. Some arches may
need a way to encode shadow stack on 32bit and 64bit both and they may
encode this information differently in VMAs.

This patch changes checks of VM_SHADOW_STACK flag in generic code to call
to a function `arch_is_shadow_stack` which will return true if arch
supports shadow stack and vma is shadow stack else stub returns false.

There was a suggestion to name it as `vma_is_shadow_stack`. I preferred to
keep `arch` prefix in there because it's each arch specific.
