This looks suspicious. Before this patch if gate_vma was part of the linked
list, it was returned. Even more than once if it was not the last vma in the
list. After this patch, if it's part of the maple tree, it will not be
returned and the iteration will stop.

But I don't know what are the rules for gate_vma being part of linked
list/maple tree, thus whether this is a bug.
