But now as you noticed the accounting in  vma_to_resize(), I can't help
but see that accounting for MREMAP_DONTUNMAP seems to have been broken
from the beginning. Either we should also hack around this way:

But I hate what's going on here.
That's disgusting, let's not account/unaccount memory for
vma_to_resize(), I've sent an alternative patch:

Thanks,
