Subject: [PATCH 3/4] mm: abstract merge for new VMAs into vma_merge_new_vma()
Date:   Sun,  8 Oct 2023 21:23:15 +0100
Message-ID: <f38b4333badbdabdb141d5ecc59518f50e5d3493.1696795837.git.lstoakes@gmail.com>

Only in mmap_region() and copy_vma() do we add VMAs which occupy entirely
new regions of virtual memory.

We can share the logic between these invocations and make it absolutely
explici to reduce confusion around the rather inscrutible parameters
possessed by vma_merge().

This also paves the way for a simplification of the core vma_merge()
implementation, as we seek to make the function entirely an implementation
detail.

Note that on mmap_region(), vma fields are initialised to zero, so we can
simply reference these rather than explicitly specifying NULL.
