mm/mmap: start distinguishing if vma can be removed in mergeability test

Since pre-git times, is_mergeable_vma() returns false for a vma with
vm_ops->close, so that no owner assumptions are violated in case the vma
is removed as part of the merge.

This check is currently very conservative and can prevent merging even
situations where vma can't be removed, such as simple expansion of
previous vma, as evidenced by commit d014cd7c1c35 ("mm, mremap: fix
mremap() expanding for vma's with vm_ops->close()")

In order to allow more merging when appropriate and simplify the code that
was made more complex by commit d014cd7c1c35, start distinguishing cases
where the vma can be really removed, and allow merging with vm_ops->close
otherwise.

As a first step, add a may_remove_vma parameter to is_mergeable_vma(). 
can_vma_merge_before() sets it to true, because when called from
vma_merge(), a removal of the vma is possible.

In can_vma_merge_after(), pass the parameter as false, because no
removal can occur in each of its callers:
- vma_merge() calls it on the 'prev' vma, which is never removed
- mmap_region() and do_brk_flags() call it to determine if it can expand
  a vma, which is not removed

As a result, vma's with vm_ops->close may now merge with compatible ranges
in more situations than previously.  We can also revert commit
d014cd7c1c35 as the next step to simplify mremap code again.
