mm/vma: enforce VMA fork limit on unfaulted,faulted mremap merge too
The is_mergeable_anon_vma() function uses vmg->middle as the source VMA. However when merging a new VMA, this field is NULL. In all cases except mremap(), the new VMA will either be newly established and thus lack an anon_vma, or will be an expansion of an existing VMA thus we do not care about whether VMA is CoW'd or not. In the case of an mremap(), we can end up in a situation where we can accidentally allow an unfaulted/faulted merge with a VMA that has been forked, violating the general rule that we do not permit this for reasons of anon_vma lock scalability. Now we have the ability to be aware of the fact we are copying a VMA and also know which VMA that is, we can explicitly check for this, so do so. This is pertinent since commit 879bca0a2c4f ("mm/vma: fix incorrectly disallowed anonymous VMA merges"), as this patch permits unfaulted/faulted merges that were previously disallowed running afoul of this issue. While we are here, vma_had_uncowed_parents() is a confusing name, so make it simple and rename it to vma_is_fork_child().
