Subject: [PATCH 2/2] page_cgroup array is never stored on reserved pages

KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki noted that free_pages_cgroup doesn't have to check for
PageReserved because we never store the array on reserved pages
(neither alloc_pages_exact nor vmalloc use those pages).

So we can replace the check by a BUG_ON.
