mm: fix use-after-free in sys_remap_file_pages
commit 4eb919825e6c3c7fb3630d5621f6d11e98a18b3a upstream. remap_file_pages calls mmap_region, which may merge the VMA with other existing VMAs, and free "vma". This can lead to a use-after-free bug. Avoid the bug by remembering vm_flags before calling mmap_region, and not trying to dereference vma later.
