I really dislike your coding style.

If we do this conditionally, we're _much_ better off declaring the
variables we only use inside that conditional block inside the block
itself. And since we access "vma->anon_vma" in either case, just move that
case outside the conditional statement, and avoid a pointless
if/then/else.

IOW, something like this. Totally untested.
