Subject: [PATCH v4 4/4] mm/mmap/vma_merge: init cleanup, be explicit about the non-mergeable case

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 and reorder initial variables so they are more logically grouped.

This has no functional impact.
