[4/4] mm/mmap/vma_merge: be explicit about the non-mergeable case

Commit Message

Lorenzo Stoakes March 18, 2023, 11:13 a.m. UTC

Rather than setting err = -1 and only resetting if we hit merge cases,
explicitly check the non-mergeable case to make it abundantly clear that we
only proceed with the rest if something is mergeable, default err to 0 and
only update if an error might occur.

Additionally set merge_next directly as there is no need for an if() {}
statement assigning a boolean.

This has no functional impact.
