mmap: avoid merging cloned VMAs
Avoid merging a VMA with another VMA which is cloned from the parent process. The cloned VMA shares the anon_vma lock with the parent process's VMA. If we do the merge, more vmas (even the new range is only for current process) use the perent process's anon_vma lock. This introduces scalability issues. find_mergeable_anon_vma() already considers this case.
