Looks like this, similarly to the brk case, replaces one path calling
vma_merge->__vma_adjust() with something else. But this one is better
encapsulated and visible, so less likely to be forgotten in case something
changes. Would be even better if the brk case used it too :) seems like it
doesn't, at least as of this patch.

But it would be great to improve the documentation here - some params are
not documented, notably 'next', and I would explicitly state which scenarios
it does cover - i.e. vma_merge() lists 8 scenarios and I assume this can
handlea subset of those?
And scenarios not covered could be VM_WARN_ON'd?
Without such stated assumptions, it's hard/impossible to review both the
implementation against them and, and the callers against them.

For example here this suggests that a case of 'end > next->vm_end' case is
not covered? How do I know whether it's intended or a bug?
