Subject: mm: mremap: unlink anon_vmas when mremap with MREMAP_DONTUNMAP success
mremap with MREMAP_DONTUNMAP will move all page table entries to new vma,
which means all pages allocated for the old vma are not relevant to it
anymore, and the relevant anon_vma links needs to be unlinked, in nature
the old vma is much like been freshly created and have no pages been fault
in.
But we should not do unlink, if the new vma has effectively merged with
the old one.
