Subject: [PATCH] rmap: Fix compound check logic in page_remove_file_rmap

In page_remove_file_rmap(.) we have the following check:
  VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(compound && !PageTransHuge(page), page);

This is meant to check for either HugeTLB pages or THP when a compound
page is passed in.

Unfortunately, if one disables CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE, then
PageTransHuge(.) will always return false provoking BUGs when one runs
the libhugetlbfs test suite.

Changing the definition of PageTransHuge to be defined for
!CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE turned out to provoke build bugs; so this
patch instead replaces the errant check with:
  PageTransHuge(page) || PageHuge(page)

Fixes: dd78fedde4b9 ("rmap: support file thp")
