When we introduced arch_get_unmapped_area_vmflags() in 961148704acd
("mm: introduce arch_get_unmapped_area_vmflags()") we did so as part of
properly supporting guard pages for shadow stacks on x86_64, which uses
a custom arch_get_unmapped_area(). Equivalent features are also present
on both arm64 and RISC-V, both of which use the generic implementation
of arch_get_unmapped_area() and will require equivalent modification
there. Rather than continue to deal with having two versions of the
functions let's bite the bullet and have all implementations of
arch_get_unmapped_area() take vm_flags as a parameter.

The new parameter is currently ignored by all implementations other than
x86. The only caller that doesn't have a vm_flags available is
mm_get_unmapped_area(), as for the x86 implementation and the wrapper used
on other architectures this is modified to supply no flags.

No functional changes.
