Subject: [RFC patch] mmap: permute find_vma with find_vma_prev

Both find_vma and find_vma_prev have code for walking rb tree, and we can
walk less.

To cut the walk in find_vma_prev off, find_vma is changed to take care of
vm_prev while walking rb tree, and we end up wrapping find_vma_prev with
find_vma.

btw, what happened to LKML?
