Subject: [PATCH 1/3] mmap: Fix vma_iterator in error path of vma_merge()

When merging of the previous VMA fails after the vma iterator has been
moved to the previous entry, the vma iterator must be advanced to ensure
the caller takes the correct action on the next vma iterator event.  Fix
this by adding a vma_next() call to the error path.

Users may experience higher CPU usage, most likely in very low memory
situations.
