Which seems to hint that the vma we are re-inserting for the ops unwind
is either invalid or overlapping with something already inserted in the
vm. It shouldn't be invalid since this is a re-insertion, so must have
worked before. Leaving the likely culprit as something already placed
where we want to insert the vma.

Following from that, for the case where we do something like a rebind in
the middle of a vma, and one or both mapped ends are already compatible,
we skip doing the rebind of those vma and set next/prev to NULL. As well
as then adjust the original unmap va range, to avoid unmapping the ends.
However, if we trigger the unwind path, we end up with three va, with
the two ends never being removed and the original va range in the middle
still being the shrunken size.

If this occurs, one failure mode is when another unwind op needs to
interact with that range, which can happen with a vector of binds. For
example, if we need to re-insert something in place of the original va.
In this case the va is still the shrunken version, so when removing it
and then doing a re-insert it can overlap with the ends, which were
never removed, triggering a warning like above, plus leaving the vm in a
bad state.

With that, we need two things here:

 1) Stop nuking the prev/next tracking for the skip cases. Instead
    relying on checking for skip prev/next, where needed. That way on the
    unwind path, we now correctly remove both ends.

 2) Undo the unmap va shrinkage, on the unwind path. With the two ends
    now removed the unmap va should expand back to the original size again,
    before re-insertion.

v2:
  - Update the explanation in the commit message, based on an actual IGT of
    triggering this issue, rather than conjecture.
  - Also undo the unmap shrinkage, for the skip case. With the two ends
    now removed, the original unmap va range should expand back to the
    original range.
v3:
  - Track the old start/range separately. vma_size/start() uses the va
    info directly.

* Get the latest kernel: https://kernel.org
* Build the kernel: See Documentation/admin-guide/quickly-build-trimmed-linux.rst
* Join the community: https://lore.kernel.org/

Essential Documentation
-----------------------

All users should be familiar with:

* Building requirements: Documentation/process/changes.rst
* Code of Conduct: Documentation/process/code-of-conduct.rst
