Yes, It seems vma_merge() could fput the vm_file via remove_next case in __vma_adjust(). So the fput vm_file here do the
extra one.
But we may not remove the fput here directly as vma_merge() do not always fput the vm_file. I'am not really familiar with
the vma merge yet, but I would try my best to fix this as soon as possible.
Many thanks for point this out. And sorry for my careless.
