Subject: mmap: check ->vm_ops before dereferencing
From: Rik van Riel <riel@xxxxxxxxxx>
Check whether the VMA has a vm_ops before calling close, just like we
check vm_ops before calling open a few dozen lines higher up in the
function.
akpm: lots of vm_operations_structs have a NULL ->close. If vma_adjust()
fails, we oops.
