Liu Zixian 309d08d9b3 mm/mmap.c: fix mmap return value when vma is merged after call_mmap()
On success, mmap should return the begin address of newly mapped area,
but patch "mm: mmap: merge vma after call_mmap() if possible" set
vm_start of newly merged vma to return value addr.  Users of mmap will
get wrong address if vma is merged after call_mmap().  We fix this by
moving the assignment to addr before merging vma.

We have a driver which changes vm_flags, and this bug is found by our
testcases.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
