Refactor vma_merge() to make it shorter and more understandable.
Main change is the elimination of code duplicity in the case of
merge next check. This is done by first doing checks and caching
the results before executing the merge itself. The variable 'area' is
divided into 'mid' and 'res' as previously it was used for two purposes,
as the middle VMA between prev and next and also as the result of the
merge itself. Exit paths are also unified.

Thanks, but unfortunately the code you're working on here has changed
greatly in Liam's mapletree patchset.  Could you please take a look at
the mm-unstable branch at
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm and decide if you
want to tackle it?
