We used to not pass in the pgoff correctly when register/unregister uffd regions, it caused incorrect behavior on vma merging and can cause mergeable vmas being separate after ioctls return.
For example, when we have:
vma1(range 0-9, with uffd), vma2(range 10-19, no uffd)
Then someone unregisters uffd on range (5-9), it should logically become:
vma1(range 0-4, with uffd), vma2(range 5-19, no uffd)
But with current code we'll have:
vma1(range 0-4, with uffd), vma3(range 5-9, no uffd), vma2(range 10-19, no uffd)
This patch allows such merge to happen correctly before ioctl returns.
This behavior seems to have existed since the 1st day of uffd. Since pgoff for vma_merge() is only used to identify the possibility of vma merging, meanwhile here what we did was always passing in a pgoff smaller than what we should, so there should have no other side effect besides not merging it. Let's still tentatively copy stable for this, even though I don't see anything will go wrong besides vma being split (which is mostly not user visible).
