Subject: c/r: prctl: drop VMA flags test on PR_SET_MM_ stack data assignment
With the
| commit b76437579d1344b612cf1851ae610c636cec7db0
| Author: Siddhesh Poyarekar <siddhesh.poyarekar@xxxxxxxxx>

| procfs: mark thread stack correctly in proc/<pid>/maps
the stack allocated via clone() is marked in /proc/<pid>/maps as
[stack:%d] thus it might be out of the former mm->start_stack/end_stack
values (and even has some custom VMA flags set). So to be able to restore
mm->start_stack/end_stack drop vma flags test, but still require the
underlying VMA to exist.
As always note this feature is under CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE and
requires CAP_SYS_RESOURCE to be granted.
