[PATCH] mm: make expand_downwards symmetrical to expand_upwards

[Michal Hocko]

Currently we have expand_upwards exported while expand_downwards is
accessible only via expand_stack or expand_stack_downwards.

check_stack_guard_page is a nice example of the asymmetry. It uses
expand_stack for VM_GROWSDOWN while expand_upwards is called for
VM_GROWSUP case.

Let's clean this up by exporting both functions and make those name
consistent. Let's use expand_stack_{upwards,downwards} so that we are
explicit about stack manipulation in the name. expand_stack_downwards
has to be defined for both CONFIG_STACK_GROWS{UP,DOWN} because
get_arg_page calls the downwards version in the early process
initialization phase for growsup configuration.
