Konstantin Khlebnikov 6988f31d55 mm: remove VM_BUG_ON(PageSlab()) from page_mapcount()
Replace superfluous VM_BUG_ON() with comment about correct usage.

Technically reverts commit 1d148e218a ("mm: add VM_BUG_ON_PAGE() to
page_mapcount()"), but context lines have changed.

Function isolate_migratepages_block() runs some checks out of lru_lock
when choose pages for migration.  After checking PageLRU() it checks
extra page references by comparing page_count() and page_mapcount().
Between these two checks page could be removed from lru, freed and taken
by slab.

As a result this race triggers VM_BUG_ON(PageSlab()) in page_mapcount().
Race window is tiny.  For certain workload this happens around once a
year.

The code in isolate_migratepages_block() was added in commit
119d6d59dc ("mm, compaction: avoid isolating pinned pages") before
adding VM_BUG_ON into page_mapcount().

This race has been predicted in 2015 by Vlastimil Babka (see link
below).

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
