Logic of find_vma_intersection() (which is an inline fc) is repeated in __do_munmap(). Besides, prev is assigned a value before checking vma->vm_start >= end which might end up on a return statement making that assignment useless. Calling find_vma_intersection() checks that condition and returns NULL if no vma is found, hence only the !vma check is needed in __do_munmap().
