1. Kill the first "vma != NULL" check. Firstly this is not possible, m_next() won't be called if ->start() or the previous ->next() returns NULL. And if it was possible the 2nd "vma != tail_vma" check is buggy, we should not wrongly return ->tail_vma. 2. Make this function readable. The logic is very simple, we should return check "vma != tail" once and return "vm_next || tail_vma".
