Subject: [PATCH v2 2/2] mm/mmap: remove find_vma_intersection() in vma_merge()

We need to find the current vma by find_vma_intersection() in
vma_merge(). Since the src vma was passed, we can add a check to figure
out if the current vma is NULL or the src vma directly.

Remove find_vma_intersection() in vma_merge(). And initialize the next to
NULL when defining it.
