[PATCH 01/10] mm/mmap/vma_merge: use only primary pointers for preparing merge

[Vlastimil Babka <vbabka@suse.cz>]

In the merging preparation part of vma_merge(), some vma pointer
variables are assigned for later execution of the merge, but also read
from in the block itself. The code is easier follow and check against
the cases diagram in the comment if the code reads only from the
"primary" vma variables prev, mid, next instead. No functional change.
