The syzbot reported the below general protection fault:

general protection fault, probably for non-canonical address
0xe00eeaee0000003b: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP KASAN
KASAN: maybe wild-memory-access in range [0x00777770000001d8-0x00777770000001df]

It's because the ->mmap() callback can change vma->vm_file and fput the original file. But the commit d70cec898324 ("mm: mmap: merge vma after call_mmap() if possible") failed to catch this case and always fput() the original file, hence add an extra fput().

[ Thanks Hillf for pointing this extra fput() out. ]
