[PATCH] Fix for vma merging refcounting bug
From: "Stephen C. Tweedie" <sct@redhat.com> When a new vma can be merged simultaneously with its two immediate neighbours in both directions, vma_merge() extends the predecessor vma and deletes the successor. However, if the vma maps a file, it fails to fput() when doing the delete, leaving the file's refcount inconsistent.
