Add more sanity checks to the VMA that do_brk_flags() will expand. Ensure
the VMA matches basic merge requirements within the function before
calling can_vma_merge_after().
Drop the duplicate checks from vm_brk_flags() since they will be enforced
later.
The old code would expand file VMAs on brk(), which is functionally
wrong and also dangerous in terms of locking because the brk() path
isn't designed for file VMAs and therefore doesn't lock the file
mapping. Checking can_vma_merge_after() ensures that new anonymous
VMAs can't be merged into file VMAs.
