Subject: [PATCH 6.1/7] mm: thp: replace DEBUG_VM BUG with VM_WARN when unmap
 fails for split

From: Yang Shi <shy828301@...il.com>

When debugging the bug reported by Wang Yugui [1], try_to_unmap() may
fail, but the first VM_BUG_ON_PAGE() just checks page_mapcount() however
it may miss the failure when head page is unmapped but other subpage is
mapped.  Then the second DEBUG_VM BUG() that check total mapcount would
catch it.  This may incur some confusion.  And this is not a fatal issue,
so consolidate the two DEBUG_VM checks into one VM_WARN_ON_ONCE_PAGE().
