mm/mmap.c: fix mmap return value when vma is merged after call_mmap()

On success, mmap should return the begin address of newly mapped area,
but patch "mm: mmap: merge vma after call_mmap() if possible" set
vm_start of newly merged vma to return value addr.  Users of mmap will
get wrong address if vma is merged after call_mmap().  We fix this by
moving the assignment to addr before merging vma.

We have a driver which changes vm_flags, and this bug is found by our
testcases.
