The new object is the one allocated using:

Of course but at this point the choice of the new VMA is already made
by the caller. So in our case do_munmap() decided that B is the new
one as you said. But I still don't see why...
And as I said previously it will end up by calling consecutively:
vma->vm_ops->open(B)
vma->vm_ops->close(B)
Please read Mel Gorman's book on memory management to gain a better
understanding.

thanks for the link, but I don't expect to find out the answer to this
very specific question in it.
