[PATCH] redundant call to vm_enough_memory

[PATCH] redundant call to vm_enough_memory

[Werner Almesberger]

This patch removes a redundant call to vm_enough_memory from
mm/mmap.c:sys_brk. Exactly the same test is made in mm/mmap.c:do_brk,
with the exception that the latter is done after calling do_munmap.

Note that do_munmap in do_brk has no effect when called from sys_brk,
because the check for find_vma_intersection only lets us pass if there
are no memory objects in the way.

The patch is for 2.4.2-pre1, with my /proc/sys/vm/max_map_count patch
applied. (The latter only changes some offsets, not the context of this
patch.)
