The 4.11 and 4.9 patches are fine, but I noticed a couple of corrections
to this 4.4 one.  There are very unlikely circumstances (on VM_GROWSUP
architectures only) in which that "highest_vm_end = end" line would be
wrong: several different ways to fix it, I'm tending to go with Andrea's
observation that the only need for update has already been done above,
so just VM_WARN_ON if it's unexpected.
