Subject[053/114] mm: make the mlock() stack guard page checks stricter
2.6.35-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

commit 7798330ac8114c731cfab83e634c6ecedaa233d7 upstream.

If we've split the stack vma, only the lowest one has the guard page.
Now that we have a doubly linked list of vma's, checking this is trivial.
