mm/mmap: change do_brk_flags() to expand existing VMA and add do_brk_munmap()

Avoid allocating a new VMA when it a vma modification can occur.  When a
brk() can expand or contract a VMA, then the single store operation will
only modify one index of the maple tree instead of causing a node to split
or coalesce.  This avoids unnecessary allocations/frees of maple tree
nodes and VMAs.

Move some limit & flag verifications out of the do_brk_flags() function to
use only relevant checks in the code path of bkr() and vm_brk_flags().

Set the vma to check if it can expand in vm_brk_flags() if extra criteria
are met.

Drop userfaultfd from do_brk_flags() path and only use it in
vm_brk_flags() path since that is the only place a munmap will happen.

Add a wraper for munmap for the brk case called do_brk_munmap().
