4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

commit 561b5e0709e4a248c67d024d4d94b6e31e3edf2f upstream.
Commit 1be7107fbe18 ("mm: larger stack guard gap, between vmas") has introduced a regression in some rust and Java environments which are trying to implement their own stack guard page. They are punching a new MAP_FIXED mapping inside the existing stack Vma.
This will confuse expand_{downwards,upwards} into thinking that the stack expansion would in fact get us too close to an existing non-stack vma which is a correct behavior wrt safety. It is a real regression on the other hand.
Let's work around the problem by considering PROT_NONE mapping as a part of the stack. This is a gros hack but overflowing to such a mapping would trap anyway an we only can hope that usespace knows what it is doing and handle it propely.
