This effectively reverts d014cd7c1c35 ("mm, mremap: fix mremap()
expanding for vma's with vm_ops->close()"). After the recent changes,
vma_merge() is able to handle the expansion properly even when the vma
being expanded has a vm_ops->close operation, so we don't need to
special case it anymore.

Good to eliminate this edge case! Do we have a self-test for this case to assert
that the issue is fixed by this? I guess a little tricky due to the need for the
the owning VMA to have ->close() specified.

In any case, the changes you have made in the previous patch should ensure the
edge case is no longer required, hence:-

Yeah that's the problem, it needs some specific setup, unlike the existing
tests.
