[PATCH v4 1/2] [PATCH 1/2] mm: refactor of vma_merge()

[Jakub Matěna]

Refactor vma_merge() to make it shorter and more understandable.
Main change is the elimination of code duplicity in the case of
merge next check. This is done by first doing checks and caching
the results before executing the merge itself. The variable 'area' is
divided into 'mid' and 'res' as previously it was used for two purposes,
as the middle VMA between prev and next and also as the result of the
merge itself. Exit paths are also unified.
