There was no more caller passing vm_flags to do_mmap(), and vm_flags was

There is a new user now.  Shadow stack allocation passes VM_SHSTK to
do_mmap().  Re-introduce vm_flags to do_mmap(), but without the old wrapper
do_mmap_pgoff().  Instead, make all callers of the wrapper pass a zero
vm_flags to do_mmap().
