Commit de33c8db59 ("Fix OOPS in
mmap_region() when merging adjacent VM_LOCKED file segments") unified
the vma merging of anonymous and file maps to just one place, which
simplified the code and fixed a use-after-free bug that could cause an
oops.
But by doing the merge opportunistically before even having called
->mmap() on the file method, it now compares two different 'vm_flags'
values: the pre-mmap() value of the new not-yet-formed vma, and previous
mappings of the same file around it.
And in doing so, it refused to merge the common file case, which adds a
marker to say "I can be made non-linear".
This fixes it by just adding a set of flags that don't have to match,
because we know they are ok to merge. Currently it's only that single
VM_CAN_NONLINEAR flag, but at least conceptually there could be others
in the future.
