mremap: check if it's possible to split original vma



If original VMA can't be split at the desired address, do_munmap() will
fail and leave both new-copied VMA and old VMA.  De-facto it's
MREMAP_DONTUNMAP behaviour, which is unexpected.

Currently, it may fail such way for hugetlbfs and dax device mappings.

Minimize such unpleasant situations to OOM by checking .may_split() before
attempting to create a VMA copy.
