mm: abstract merge for new VMAs into vma_merge_new_vma()
Only in mmap_region() and copy_vma() do we attempt to merge VMAs which
occupy entirely new regions of virtual memory.
We can abstract this logic and make the intent of this invocations of it
completely explicit, rather than invoking vma_merge() with an inscrutable
wall of parameters.
This also paves the way for a simplification of the core vma_merge()
implementation, as we seek to make it entirely an implementation detail.
The VMA merge call in mmap_region() occurs only for file-backed mappings,
where each of the parameters previously specified as NULL are defaulted to
NULL in vma_init() (called by vm_area_alloc()).
This matches the previous behaviour of specifying NULL for a number of
fields, however note that prior to this call we pass the VMA to the file
system driver via call_mmap(), which may in theory adjust fields that we
pass in to vma_merge_new_vma().
Therefore we actually resolve an oversight here by allowing for the fact
that the driver may have done this.
