Is there any real issue pop up to show that it's something that we cannot
rely upon before b0729ae0ae67? Because normally if something broke with a
commit I'll say "commit xxx breaks yyy" unless there's more valid reason.. :)

Doing vma_merge() before vma_split() makes some sense to me (and I noticed
that mostly all vma_merge() paths are doing so), because if a merge
happened, we 100% doesn't need a split (vma_merge took care of everything).
It's not the other way round, since if we split, we could still need a
merge.
So it fundamentally avoids unnecessary calls to split, it seems, if we
always call merge before splits.

Could you explain a bit why we don't need to merge in this case?
I'm considering, for example, when we have:
vma1(range 0-9, with uffd), vma2(range 10-19, no uffd)
Then someone unregisters uffd on range (5-9), iiuc it should become:
vma1(range 0-4, with uffd), vma2(range 5-19, no uffd)
But if no merge here it's:
vma1(range 0-4, with uffd), vma3(range 5-9, no uffd), vma2(range 10-19, no uffd)
Maybe I missed something?
