Subject: [PATCH v2 2/4] mm/mmap/vma_merge: set next to NULL if not applicable

We are only interested in next if end == next->vm_start (in which case we
check to see if we can set merge_next), so perform this check alongside
checking whether curr should be set.

This groups all of the simple range checks together and establishes the
invariant that, if prev, curr or next are non-NULL then their positions are
as expected.

This has no functional impact.
