set_mempolicy_home_node() iterates over a list of VMAs and calls
mbind_range() on each VMA, which also iterates over the singular list of
the VMA passed in and potentially splits the VMA. Since the VMA iterator
is not passed through, set_mempolicy_home_node() may now point to a stale
node in the VMA tree. This can result in a UAF as reported by syzbot.
Avoid the stale maple tree node by passing the VMA iterator through to the
underlying call to split_vma().
mbind_range() is also overly complicated, since there are two calling
functions and one already handles iterating over the VMAs. Simplify
mbind_range() to only handle merging and splitting of the VMAs.
Align the new loop in do_mbind() and existing loop in
set_mempolicy_home_node() to use the reduced mbind_range() function. This
allows for a single location of the range calculation and avoids
constantly looking up the previous VMA (since this is a loop over the
VMAs).
