[PATCH 1/2] mm/mmap: Add inline vma_next() for readability of mmap code

From: Liam R. Howlett
Date: Tue Aug 18 2020 - 11:56:22 EST


There are three places that the next vma is required which uses the same
block of code. Replace the block with a function and add comments on
what happens in the case where NULL is encountered.
