[PATCH] mm: do not BUG_ON missing brk mapping, because userspace can unmap it

[Jason A. Donenfeld]

The following program will trigger the BUG_ON that this patch removes,
because the user can munmap() mm->brk:

  #include <sys/syscall.h>
  #include <sys/mman.h>
  #include <assert.h>
  #include <unistd.h>

  static void *brk_now(void)
  {
    return (void *)syscall(SYS_brk, 0);
  }

  static void brk_set(void *b)
  {
    assert(syscall(SYS_brk, b) != -1);
  }

  int main(int argc, char *argv[])
  {
    void *b = brk_now();
    brk_set(b + 4096);
    assert(munmap(b - 4096, 4096 * 2) == 0);
    brk_set(b);
    return 0;
  }

Compile that with musl, since glibc actually uses brk(), and then
execute it, and it'll hit this splat:

Instead, just error out if the original mapping has been removed.
