I do not understand what VM_BUG_ON_PAGE has to do with the above
failure. Could you be more specific.

Hmm, now that I am looking into dump_page_badflags it shouldn't call
mem_cgroup_print_bad_page for hugetlb pages because it doesn't make any
sense. I will post a patch for that but that still doesn't explain the
above changelog.
