commit bb177a732c4369bb58a1fe1df8f552b6f0f7db5f upstream.

syzbot has noticed that a specially crafted library can easily hit
VM_BUG_ON in __mm_populate

 kernel BUG at mm/gup.c:1242!

    entry_SYSENTER_compat+0x70/0x7f

The reason is that the length of the new brk is not page aligned when we
try to populate the it.  There is no reason to bug on that though.
do_brk_flags already aligns the length properly so the mapping is
expanded as it should.  All we need is to tell mm_populate about it.
Besides that there is absolutely no reason to to bug_on in the first
place.  The worst thing that could happen is that the last page wouldn't
get populated and that is far from putting system into an inconsistent
state.

Fix the issue by moving the length sanitization code from do_brk_flags
up to vm_brk_flags.  The only other caller of do_brk_flags is brk
syscall entry and it makes sure to provide the proper length so t here
is no need for sanitation and so we can use do_brk_flags without it.

Also remove the bogus BUG_ONs.

Queued for 4.9, thank you.
