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.

As I said in another response. Noted. And if there're no takers for 32bit on riscv (which highly likely is the case) This will go away in next version of patchsets.
