The adj_start calculation has been a constant source of confusion in the
VMA merge code.

There are two cases to consider, one where we adjust the start of the
vmg->middle VMA (i.e.  the vmg->__adjust_middle_start merge flag is set),
in which case adj_start is calculated as:

(1) adj_start = vmg->end - vmg->middle->vm_start

And the case where we adjust the start of the vmg->next VMA (i.e.  the
vmg->__adjust_next_start merge flag is set), in which case adj_start is
calculated as:

(2) adj_start = -(vmg->middle->vm_end - vmg->end)

We apply (1) thusly:

vmg->middle->vm_start =
vmg->middle->vm_start + vmg->end - vmg->middle->vm_start

Which simplifies to:

vmg->middle->vm_start = vmg->end

Similarly, we apply (2) as:

vmg->next->vm_start =
vmg->next->vm_start + -(vmg->middle->vm_end - vmg->end)

Noting that for these VMAs to be mergeable vmg->middle->vm_end ==
vmg->next->vm_start and so this simplifies to:

vmg->next->vm_start =
vmg->next->vm_start + -(vmg->next->vm_start - vmg->end)

Which simplifies to:

vmg->next->vm_start = vmg->end

Therefore in each case, we simply need to adjust the start of the VMA to
vmg->end (!) and can do away with this adj_start calculation.  The only
caveat is that we must ensure we update the vm_pgoff field correctly.

We therefore abstract this entire calculation to a new function
vmg_adjust_set_range() which performs this calculation and sets the
adjusted VMA's new range using the general vma_set_range() function.

We also must update vma_adjust_trans_huge() which expects the
now-abstracted adj_start parameter.  It turns out this is wholly
unnecessary.

In vma_adjust_trans_huge() the relevant code is:

if (adjust_next > 0) {
struct vm_area_struct *next = find_vma(vma->vm_mm, vma->vm_end);
unsigned long nstart = next->vm_start;
nstart += adjust_next;
split_huge_pmd_if_needed(next, nstart);
}

The only case where this is relevant is when vmg->__adjust_middle_start is
specified (in which case adj_next would have been positive), i.e.  the one
in which the vma specified is vmg->prev and this the sought 'next' VMA
would be vmg->middle.

We can therefore eliminate the find_vma() invocation altogether and simply
provide the vmg->middle VMA in this instance, or NULL otherwise.

Again we have an adj_next offset calculation:

next->vm_start + vmg->end - vmg->middle->vm_start

Where next == vmg->middle this simplifies to vmg->end as previously
demonstrated.

Therefore nstart is equal to vmg->end, which is already passed to
vma_adjust_trans_huge() via the 'end' parameter and so this code (rather
delightfully) simplifies to:

if (next)
split_huge_pmd_if_needed(next, end);

With these changes in place, it becomes silly for commit_merge() to return
vmg->target, as it is always the same and threaded through vmg, so we
finally change commit_merge() to return an error value once again.

This patch has no change in functional behaviour.
