Subject: [PATCH v2 2/2] mm/uffd: Allow vma to merge as much as possible

We used to not pass in the pgoff correctly when register/unregister uffd
regions, it caused incorrect behavior on vma merging and can cause
mergeable vmas being separate after ioctls return.

For example, when we have:

  vma1(range 0-9, with uffd), vma2(range 10-19, no uffd)

Then someone unregisters uffd on range (5-9), it should logically become:

  vma1(range 0-4, with uffd), vma2(range 5-19, no uffd)

But with current code we'll have:

  vma1(range 0-4, with uffd), vma3(range 5-9, no uffd), vma2(range 10-19, no uffd)

This patch allows such merge to happen correctly before ioctl returns.

This behavior seems to have existed since the 1st day of uffd.  Since pgoff
for vma_merge() is only used to identify the possibility of vma merging,
meanwhile here what we did was always passing in a pgoff smaller than what
we should, so there should have no other side effect besides not merging
it.  Let's still tentatively copy stable for this, even though I don't see
anything will go wrong besides vma being split (which is mostly not user
visible).
