mm: correctly reference merged VMA
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
On second merge attempt on mmap() we incorrectly discard the possibly
merged VMA, resulting in a possible use-after-free (and most certainly a
reference to the wrong VMA) in this instance in the subsequent
__mmap_complete() invocation.

Correct this mistake by reassigning vma correctly if a merge succeeds in
this case.
