I reviewed the code carefully these days and I found vma_merge() do only fput() the vm_file of the linked vma in remove_next cases.
This gpf is much likely because the ->mmap() callback can change vma->vm_file and fput the original file. But my previous commit
failed to catch this case and always fput() the original file, hence add an extra fput().
The below patch would make the things right:
diff --git a/mm/mmap.c b/mm/mmap.c

It's very nice of you if you could help test this patch as I can't reproduce it in my product environment. And many thanks
for a possible Tested-by tag.
Thanks again.
