mm: defer second attempt at merge on mmap()

Browse Source 
Rather than trying to merge again when ostensibly allocating a new VMA,
instead defer until the VMA is added and attempt to merge the existing
range.

This way we have no complicated unwinding logic midway through the process
of mapping the VMA.

In addition this removes limitations on the VMA not being able to be the
first in the virtual memory address space which was previously implicitly
required.

In theory, for this very same reason, we should unconditionally attempt
merge here, however this is likely to have a performance impact so it is
better to avoid this given the unlikely outcome of a merge.
