[PATCH] fix VmSize and VmData after mremap

mremap's move_vma is applying __vm_stat_account to the old vma which may
have already been freed: move it to just before the do_munmap.

mremapping to and fro with CONFIG_DEBUG_SLAB=y showed /proc/<pid>/status
VmSize and VmData wrapping just like in kernel bugzilla #4842, and fixed by
this patch - worth including in 2.6.13, though not yet confirmed that it
fixes that specific report from Frank van Maarseveen.
