mm/rmap.c: reuse mergeable anon_vma as parent when fork
In __anon_vma_prepare(), we will try to find anon_vma if it is possible to reuse it. While on fork, the logic is different. Since commit 5beb49305251 ("mm: change anon_vma linking to fix multi-process server scalability issue"), function anon_vma_clone() tries to allocate new anon_vma for child process. But the logic here will allocate a new anon_vma for each vma, even in parent this vma is mergeable and share the same anon_vma with its sibling. This may do better for scalability issue, while it is not necessary to do so especially after interval tree is used. Commit 7a3ef208e662 ("mm: prevent endless growth of anon_vma hierarchy") tries to reuse some anon_vma by counting child anon_vma and attached vmas. While for those mergeable anon_vmas, we can just reuse it and not necessary to go through the logic. After this change, kernel build test reduces 20% anon_vma allocation. Do the same kernel build test, it shows run time in sys reduced 11.6%.
