Subject: [PATCH v2 4/4] mm/mmap/vma_merge: init cleanup, be explicit about the non-mergeable case

Reorder the initial variables sensibly and set vma_start and vm_pgoff there
rather than later so all initial values are set at the same time meaning we
don't have to set these later.

Rather than setting err = -1 and only resetting if we hit merge cases,
explicitly check the non-mergeable case to make it abundantly clear that we
only proceed with the rest if something is mergeable, default err to 0 and
only update if an error might occur.

Move the merge_prev, merge_next cases closer to the logic determining curr,
next.

This has no functional impact.
