mmap: avoid merging cloned VMAs

Browse source 
Avoid merging a VMA with another VMA which is cloned from the parent process.

The cloned VMA shares the anon_vma lock with the parent process's VMA.  If
we do the merge, more vmas (even the new range is only for current
process) use the perent process's anon_vma lock.  This introduces
scalability issues.  find_mergeable_anon_vma() already considers this
case.
