Unless I am missing something, this is not a simple cleanup. It should go into a separate patch with a clearly documented reason for that change.

I tried that here
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/CAKC1njTPBqtsAOn-CWhB+-8FaZ2KWkkz-vRZr7MZq=0ylud...@mail.gmail.com/T/
But at that time, VM_SHADOW_STACK for riscv meant only VM_WRITE. So I think
there was obvious uneasiness with that part.

Now we have VM_SHADOW_STACK pretty much same for all arches and only 64bit.
I'll try it again as a separate patch.
