Add more sanity checks to the VMA that do_brk_flags() will expand.
Ensure the VMA matches basic merge requirements within the function
before calling can_vma_merge_after().
Drop the duplicate checks from vm_brk_flags() since they will be
enforced later.
Fixes: 2e7ce7d354f2 ("mm/mmap: change do_brk_flags() to expand existing VMA and add do_brk_munmap()")

Looks good to me, with one note:

Why the "vma->anon_vma" check here? The old code was checking that the
existing VMA is not attached to more than one anon_vma; but the new
code instead checks that the existing VMA is attached to at least one
anon_vma, and then is_mergeable_anon_vma() checks that the VMA is not
attached to more than one anon_vma, so in effect the VMA has to be
attached to exactly one anon_vma. Is that intentional?
If not, maybe delete the "vma->anon_vma &&" - can_vma_merge_after()
already does the equivalent check of the old "(!vma->anon_vma ||
list_is_singular(&vma->anon_vma_chain))".

That was not intentional.

Yes, I will do that and send a v2.
