Subject: [RFC 11/11] mm/mremap: simplify vma expansion again

This effectively reverts d014cd7c1c35 ("mm, mremap: fix mremap()
expanding for vma's with vm_ops->close()"). After the recent changes,
vma_merge() is able to handle the expansion properly even when the vma
being expanded has a vm_ops->close operation, so we don't need to
special case it anymore.
