Subject: [PATCH] hugetlb: Remove check_coalesce_bug debug code

Commit b5f16a533ce8a ("hugetlb: support file_region coalescing
again") made changes to the resv_map code which are hard to test, it
so added debug code guarded by CONFIG_DEBUG_VM which conducts an
expensive operation that loops over the resv_map and checks it for
errors.

Unfortunately, some distros have CONFIG_DEBUG_VM on in their default
kernels, and we don't want this debug code behind CONFIG_DEBUG_VM
and called each time a file region is added. This patch removes this
debug code. I may look into making it a test or leave it for my local
testing.
