Subject: [5/5] memrlimit correct mremap and move_vma accounting



The memrlimit patches did not account for move_vma() since we account for
address space usage in do_mremap(). The code flow actually increments
total_vm twice (once in do_mremap() and once in move_vma()), the excess
is removed in remove_vma_list() via do_munmap(). Since we did not do the
duplicate accounting, the code was seeing the extra uncharge, causing
our accounting to break. This patch fixes the problem
