[PATCH 18/19] x86, mpx: do not count MPX VMAs as neighbors when unmapping

[Dave Hansen <dave@sr71.net>]

From: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@linux.intel.com>

The comment pretty much says it all.

I wrote a test program that does lots of random allocations
and forces bounds tables to be created.  It came up with a
layout like this:

  ....   | BOUNDS DIRECTORY ENTRY COVERS |  ....
         |    BOUNDS TABLE COVERS        |
|  BOUNDS TABLE |  REAL ALLOC | BOUNDS TABLE |

Unmapping "REAL ALLOC" should have been able to free the
bounds table "covering" the "REAL ALLOC" because it was the
last real user.  But, the neighboring VMA bounds tables were
found, considered as real neighbors, and we declined to free
the bounds table covering the area.

Doing this over and over left a small but significant number
of these orphans.  Handling them is fairly straighforward.
All we have to do is walk the VMAs and skip all of the MPX
ones when looking for neighbors.
