Thanks so much for so quickly noticing this...!!

Ugh you're right, what a mistake. This would fit the report completely too,
as the existing VMA would be freed etc. etc.

I'll write a test to trigger this path soon, writing mmap_region() unit
tests is on my TODO list now they're in vma.c

The line referenced seems to be to vm_stat_account(), which references
vma->vm_flags which is in other words the first time we try to access the
vma pointer, UAF...

Patch incoming in one second.
