If mprotect_fixup() successfully calls vma_merge() and replaces vma and the next vma, then the tmp variable in the do_mprotect_pkey() is not updated to point to the new vma end. This results in the loop detecting a gap between VMAs that does not exist. Fix the faulty value of tmp by setting it to the end location of the vma iterator at the end of the loop.
