From: Andrea Arcangeli <aarcange@redhat.com>
Subject: mm: vma_merge: correct false positive from __vma_unlink->validate_mm_rb

The old code was always doing:

   vma->vm_end = next->vm_end
   vma_rb_erase(next) // in __vma_unlink
   vma->vm_next = next->vm_next // in __vma_unlink
   next = vma->vm_next
   vma_gap_update(next)

The new code still does the above for remove_next == 1 and 2, but for
remove_next == 3 it has been changed and it does:

   next->vm_start = vma->vm_start
   vma_rb_erase(vma) // in __vma_unlink
   vma_gap_update(next)

In the latter case, while unlinking "vma", validate_mm_rb() is told to
ignore "vma" that is being removed, but next->vm_start was reduced
instead. So for the new case, to avoid the false positive from
validate_mm_rb, it should be "next" that is ignored when "vma" is
being unlinked.

"vma" and "next" in the above comment, considered pre-swap().
