Adding a comment here explaining the BUG_ON so people can understand
what is wrong if that happens. For instance:

/*
 * remove_vma() should be call only once a vma have been remove from the rbtree
 * at which point the vma->vm_rb is an empty node. The exception is when vmas
 * are destroy through exit_mmap() in which case we do not bother updating the
 * rbtree (see comment in __remove_vma()).
