With rw_page, page_endio is used for completing IO on a page
and it propagates write error to the address space if the IO
fails. The problem is it accesses page->mapping directly which
might be okay for file-backed pages but it shouldn't for
anonymous page. Otherwise, it can corrupt one of field from
anon_vma under us and system goes panic randomly.
