[PATCH v3 11/23] mm/vma: introduce [vma_flags,legacy]_to_[legacy,vma_flags]() helpers

While we are still converting VMA flags from vma_flags_t to vm_flags_t,
introduce helpers to convert between the two to allow for iterative
development without having to 'change the world' in a single commit'.
Also update VMA flags tests to reflect the change.
Finally, refresh vma_flags_overwrite_word(),
vma_flag_overwrite_word_once(), vma_flags_set_word() and
vma_flags_clear_word() in the VMA tests to reflect current kernel
implementations - this should make no functional difference, but keeps the
logic consistent between the two.
