Subject: mm/mremap: fix dup_anon_vma() in vma_merge() case 4
In case 4, we are shrinking 'prev' (PPPP in the comment) and expanding
'mid' (NNNN). So we need to make sure 'mid' clones the anon_vma from
'prev', if it doesn't have any. After commit 0503ea8f5ba7 ("mm/mmap:
remove __vma_adjust()") we can fail to do that due to wrong parameters for
dup_anon_vma(). The call is a no-op because res == next, adjust == mid
and mid == next. Fix it.
