Jann Horn 2938737cc2 mm: enforce min addr even if capable() in expand_downwards() ...

commit 0a1d52994d upstream.

security_mmap_addr() does a capability check with current_cred(), but
we can reach this code from contexts like a VFS write handler where
current_cred() must not be used.

This can be abused on systems without SMAP to make NULL pointer
dereferences exploitable again.
