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

commit 45e55300f114 ("mm: remove unnecessary wrapper function do_mmap_pgoff()").
There is a new user now. Shadow stack allocation passes VM_SHSTK to
do_mmap(). Re-introduce the vm_flags and do_mmap_pgoff().
I would prefer to change the callers to pass the additional 0 argument
instead of bringing the wrapper function back, but if we're going to
bring it back then we should fix the naming (both functions take a
pgoff argument, so the previous name do_mmap_pgoff() was just plain
confusing).

Thanks for your feedback. Here is the updated patch. I will re-send
the whole series later.
