Subject: mm/mmap/vma_merge: fold curr, next assignment logic
Date: Wed, 22 Mar 2023 20:18:58 +0000

Use find_vma_intersection() and vma_lookup() to both simplify the logic
and to fold the end == next->vm_start condition into one block.

This groups all of the simple range checks together and establishes the
invariant that, if prev, curr or next are non-NULL then their positions
are as expected.

This has no functional impact.
