mm: remove VM_BUG_ON(PageSlab()) from page_mapcount() 

[ Upstream commit 6988f31d55 ]

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.

    RIP: 0010:isolate_migratepages_block+0x986/0x9b0

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).
