Subject: [PATCH v5 2/4] mm/mmap/vma_merge: fold curr, next assignment logic

Use find_vma_intersection() and vma_lookup() to both simplify the logic and
to fold the end == next->vm_start condition into one block.

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.
