[v24,13/30] mm: Introduce VM_SHADOW_STACK for shadow stack memory

Commit Message

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_SHADOW_STACK to track shadow stack VMAs.

v24:
- Change VM_SHSTK to VM_SHADOW_STACK.
- Change CONFIG_X86_CET to CONFIG_X86_SHADOW_STACK to reflect Kconfig changes.
