mm: unconditionally close VMAs on error

[ Upstream commit 4080ef15 ]

Incorrect invocation of VMA callbacks when the VMA is no longer in a
consistent state is bug prone and risky to perform.

With regards to the important vm_ops->close() callback We have gone to
great lengths to try to track whether or not we ought to close VMAs.

Rather than doing so and risking making a mistake somewhere, instead
unconditionally close and reset vma->vm_ops to an empty dummy operations
set with a NULL .close operator.

We introduce a new function to do so - vma_close() - and simplify existing
vms logic which tracked whether we needed to close or not.

This simplifies the logic, avoids incorrect double-calling of the .close()
callback and allows us to update error paths to simply call vma_close()
unconditionally - making VMA closure idempotent.
