The vm_flags must not be compared with MAP_FIXED flag. The vm_flags may only be compared with VM_* flags. MAP_FIXED has the same value as VM_MAYREAD. Hitting the rlimit is a slow path and find_vma_intersection should realize that there is no overlapping VMA for !MAP_FIXED case pretty quickly. Remove the code that makes no sense.
