Subject: [PATCH v3 1/3] mmap: Fix vma_iterator in error path of vma_merge()

During the error path, the vma iterator may not be correctly positioned
or set to the correct range.  Undo the vma_prev() call by resetting to
the passed in address.  Re-walking to the same range will fix the range
to the area previously passed in.

Users would notice increased cycles as vma_merge() would be called an
extra time with vma == prev, and thus would fail to merge and return.

Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/CAG48ez12VN1JAOtTNMY+Y2YnsU45yL5giS-Qn=ejtiHpgJAbdQ@mail.gmail.com/
