mm: make expand_downwards() symmetrical with expand_upwards()

Currently we have expand_upwards exported while expand_downwards is
accessible only via expand_stack or expand_stack_downwards.

check_stack_guard_page is a nice example of the asymmetry.  It uses
expand_stack for VM_GROWSDOWN while expand_upwards is called for
VM_GROWSUP case.

Let's clean this up by exporting both functions and make those names
consistent.  Let's use expand_{upwards,downwards} because expanding
doesn't always involve stack manipulation (an example is
ia64_do_page_fault which uses expand_upwards for registers backing store
expansion).  expand_downwards has to be defined for both
CONFIG_STACK_GROWS{UP,DOWN} because get_arg_page calls the downwards
version in the early process initialization phase for growsup
configuration.
