Subject: mm/vma: minor cleanup of expand_[upwards, downwards]()
Date: Fri, 10 Jul 2026 21:16:57 +0100

Adjust the stack expansion functions expand_upwards() and
expand_downwards() such that they are expressed in terms of named constant
values, and make use of vma_start_pgoff().

This clearly documents that we are referencing the page offset of the start
of the VMA.

Additionally this cleans up the overflow check in expand_upwards().

No functional change intended.
