It seems arbitrary to do this here. vmg->flags are set in __mmap_region().
Why not all of this? We wouldn't need to pass vmg to __mmap_prepare() at
all? Do any of the values chenge between here and returning and vmg needs to
capture them as they are now? AFAICS not.

I'm wondering if this could go to the "non file expanded" region above. If
we expanded a vma, it was either in ksm and stays in ksm, or it was not
eligible and that couldn't have changed by expanding?
