Subject: [PATCH 2/3] fs/userfaultfd.c: reorder the if check to reduce some computation

When there are several condition check in *if* clause, the check will
stop at the first false one.

Since the for loop iterates vma list, we are sure only the last vma
meets the condition "end <= vm_end". Reorder the check sequence to
reduce some computation.
