mm: remove duplicated vma->vm_flags check when expanding stack

expand_upwards() and expand_downwards() will return -EFAULT if VM_GROWSUP
or VM_GROWSDOWN is not correctly set in vma->vm_flags, however in
!CONFIG_STACK_GROWSUP case, expand_stack_locked() returns -EINVAL first if
!(vma->vm_flags & VM_GROWSDOWN) before calling expand_downwards(), to keep
the consistency with CONFIG_STACK_GROWSUP case, remove this check.

The usages of this function are as below:

A:fs/exec.c
ret = expand_stack_locked(vma, stack_base);
if (ret)
ret = -EFAULT;

or

B:mm/memory.c mm/mmap.c
if (expand_stack_locked(vma, addr))
return NULL;

which means the return value will not propagate to other places, so I
believe there is no user-visible effects of this change, and it's
unnecessary to backport to earlier versions.
