Commit 3215eaceca87 ("mm/mremap: refactor initial parameter sanity
checks") moved the sanity check for vrm->new_addr from mremap_to() to
check_mremap_params().
However, this caused a regression as vrm->new_addr is now checked even
when MREMAP_FIXED and MREMAP_DONTUNMAP flags are not specified. In this
case, vrm->new_addr can be garbage and create unexpected failures.
Fix this by moving the new_addr check after the vrm_implies_new_addr()
guard. This ensures that the new_addr is only checked when the user has
specified one explicitly.
