Subject: [PATCH] mmap: fix vma_iterator in error path of vma_merge()

During the error path, the vma iterator may not be correctly positioned or
set to the correct range.  Undo the vma_prev() call by resetting to the
passed in address.  Re-walking to the same range will fix the range to the
area previously passed in.

Users would notice increased cycles as vma_merge() would be called an
extra time with vma == prev, and thus would fail to merge and return.
