Commit a626ca6a6564 ("vm: fix vm_pgoff wrap in stack expansion") fixed
the case of an expanding mapping causing vm_pgoff wrapping when you had
downward stack expansion.  But there was another case where IA64 and
PA-RISC expand mappings: upward expansion.

This fixes that case too.

This is incorrect, it's the same upstream commit that patch 2 refers to.

You're also missing the From line to maintain correct authorship
information.
