mm: make vmg->target consistent and further simplify commit_merge()
It is confusing for vmg->target to sometimes be the target merged VMA and in one case not. Fix this by having commit_merge() use its awareness of the vmg->_adjust_next_start case to know that it is manipulating a separate vma, abstracted in the 'vma' local variable. Place removal and adjust VMA determination logic into init_multi_vma_prep(), as the flags give us enough information to do so, and since this is the function that sets up the vma_prepare struct it makes sense to do so here. Doing this significantly simplifies commit_merge(), allowing us to eliminate the 'merge_target' handling, initialise the VMA iterator in a more sensible place and simply return vmg->target consistently. This also allows us to simplify setting vmg->target in vma_merge_existing_range() since we are then left only with two cases - merge left (or both) where the target is vmg->prev or merge right in which the target is vmg->next. This makes it easy for somebody reading the code to know what VMA will actually be the one returned and merged into and removes a great deal of the confusing 'adjust' nonsense. This patch has no change in functional behaviour.
