Lorenzo Stoakes 93bf5d4aa2 mm: abstract VMA merge and extend into vma_merge_extend() helper
mremap uses vma_merge() in the case where a VMA needs to be extended. This
can be significantly simplified and abstracted.

This makes it far easier to understand what the actual function is doing,
avoids future mistakes in use of the confusing vma_merge() function and
importantly allows us to make future changes to how vma_merge() is
implemented by knowing explicitly which merge cases each invocation uses.

Note that in the mremap() extend case, we perform this merge only when
old_len == vma->vm_end - addr. The extension_start, i.e. the start of the
extended portion of the VMA is equal to addr + old_len, i.e. vma->vm_end.

With this refactoring, vma_merge() is no longer required anywhere except
mm/mmap.c, so mark it static.
