Need to use current->mm or it won't compile, AFAICS.

Well if at this point !vmm then we are no longer here due to for_each_vma().

Thus we can miss this? But maybe it could be moved above the for loop and
checked just once, as addr only grows inside the for loop?

However, the loop body continues:

So after your patch we fail to return the unmapped area after the last vma.
