Previously it was possible to expand a mixed mapping which mremap() had already ensured was a legal expansion. This is clearly seen in the mremap() logic, as it checks vma_is_fixed_mapping() to determine legality of an expansion rather than vma_can_merge(). Additionally, copy_vma() allows for a failed merge to result in a new VMA being instantiated if MREMAP_MAYMOVE is specified. However, this is not attempted, as a failure in vma_merge_extend() is assumed to be an -ENOMEM failure. Since vma_merge_extend() is used exclusively by mremap() to perform a merge and/or expansion, resolve the issue by invoking vma_expand() for unmergeable VMAs there. Explicitly assert that the VMA is both non-fixed and a mixed mapping. This provides double insurance against broken changes in future. Note that khugepaged_enter_vma() (which vma_merge_new_range() runs) is redundant in this case, as a mixed mapping is not subject to khugepaged. Also update the VMA userland tests to add a required predicate.
