mm: introduce vma_merge_struct and abstract vma_merge(),vma_modify()
Rather than passing around huge numbers of parameters to numerous helper functions, abstract them into a single struct that we thread through the operation, the vma_merge_struct ('vmg'). Adjust vma_merge() and vma_modify() to accept this parameter, as well as predicate functions can_vma_merge_before(), can_vma_merge_after(), and the vma_modify_...() helper functions. Also introduce VMG_STATE() and VMG_VMA_STATE() helper macros to allow for easy vmg declaration. We additionally remove the requirement that vma_merge() is passed a VMA object representing the candidate new VMA. Previously it used this to obtain the mm_struct, file and anon_vma properties of the proposed range (a rather confusing state of affairs), which are now provided by the vmg directly. We also remove the pgoff calculation previously performed vma_modify(), and instead calculate this in VMG_VMA_STATE() via the vma_pgoff_offset() helper.
