Lorenzo Stoakes 4535cb331c mm/vma: use vmg->target to specify target VMA for new VMA merge
In commit 3a75ccba04 ("mm: simplify vma merge structure and expand
comments") we introduced the vmg->target field to make the merging of
existing VMAs simpler - clarifying precisely which VMA would eventually
become the merged VMA once the merge operation was complete.

New VMA merging did not get quite the same treatment, retaining the rather
confusing convention of storing the target VMA in vmg->middle.

This patch corrects this state of affairs, utilising vmg->target for this
purpose for both vma_merge_new_range() and also for vma_expand().

We retain the WARN_ON for vmg->middle being specified in
vma_merge_new_range() as doing so would make no sense, but add an
additional debug assert for setting vmg->target.

This patch additionally updates VMA userland testing to account for this
change.
