[PATCH] Fix vm_area_struct slab corruption

Patch from Hugh Dickins <hugh@veritas.com>

Hugh's patch fixes vm_area_struct slab corruption due to mremap's move_vma
mistaking how do_munmap splits vmas in one case.

Neither of us are very happy with it - it is fragile, and obscure.  Hugh will
revisit this later, but for now it should fix up the potential memory
corruption.
