Avoid merging a VMA with another VMA which is cloned from the parent process.
The cloned VMA shares the anon_vma lock with the parent process's VMA. If
we do the merge, more vmas (even the new range is only for current
process) use the perent process's anon_vma lock. This introduces
scalability issues. find_mergeable_anon_vma() already considers this
case.
