Yes, that's fair as it's not easy to see.  The second part is to catch
an exact match of the vma - simple enough.  The first part however, was
changed to catch a tricky mprotect scenario that can land us into a VMA
which is located at a lower address than the end of the brk.  So we know
we have to at least munmap one entire VMA.  Checking the start of the
VMA against the newbrk may not catch this scenario.

And now that I've explained it, I think this change should be backported
to the earlier patch in the series:
mm/mmap: Change do_brk_flags() to expand existing VMA and add do_brk_munmap()
