When insert and delete a vma, it will compute and propagate related subtree
gap. After some investigation, we can reduce subtree gap propagation a little.

[1]: This one reduce the propagation by update *next* gap after itself, since
*next* must be a parent in this case.
[2]: This one achieve this by unlinking vma from list.

After applying these two patches, test shows it reduce 0.3% function call for
vma_compute_subtree_gap.

BTW, this series is based on some un-merged cleanup patched.
