mm: WARN_ON_ONCE if f_op->mmap() change vma's start address
During reviewing the source code, I found a comment which mention that after f_op->mmap(), vma's start address can be changed. I didn't verify that it is really possible, because there are so many f_op->mmap() implementation. But if there are some mmap() which change vma's start address, it is possible error situation, because we already prepare prev vma, rb_link and rb_parent and these are related to original address. So add WARN_ON_ONCE for finding that this situtation really happens.
