Subject[PATCH v3 3/4] mm/vmap: get rid of one single unlink_va() when merge
Date
It does not make sense to try to "unlink" the node that is
definitely not linked with a list nor tree. On the first
merge step VA just points to the previously disconnected
busy area.

On the second step, check if the node has been merged and do
"unlink" if so, because now it points to an object that must
be linked.
