QML: do not check stack size if stack grows up

On architectures where the stack grows upwards (i.e. HP PA-RISC) the
stack limit calculation fails because the variables used to check the
offset are usually close to the bottom of the stack, which is in this
case the origin of the stack grows. Since these machines are a rare
obscurity simply assume that everything is fine on these machines. The
few people that are indeed running QML on such machines will probably
be able configure their stack size properly by default.
