Subject: [PATCH v4 49/49] vma_merge: Set vma iterator to correct position.

From: "Liam R. Howlett" <Liam.Howlett@...cle.com>

When merging the previous value, set the vma iterator to the previous
slot.  Don't use the vma iterator to get the next/prev so that it is in
the correct position for a write.
