Could you please provide the pmd_val() on the pmd entry, that triggers this
BUG_ON() here ? Only additional thing pmd_leaf() ensures, is that the entry
is not a table one.

#define pmd_leaf(pmd)           (pmd_present(pmd) && !pmd_table(pmd))

collapse_huge_page() pmd is non-leaf because it has table bit on ?
