Subject: [PATCH 04/10] mm/mmap/vma_merge: use the proper vma pointer in case 4

Almost all cases now use the 'next' pointer for the vma following
the merged area, and the cases diagram shows it as XXXX. Case 4 is
different as it uses 'mid' and NNNN, so change it for consistency. No
functional change.
