Side note. Wouldn't it be better to re-organize the check a bit? It is
true that this is VM_BUG so it is not usually compiled in but when it
preferably checks for unlikely cases first while the ref count will be
0 in the prevailing cases. So can we have
VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(page_count(page) && !is_zone_device_page(page) &&
!PageHWPoison(page), page);
I would simply fold this nano optimization into the patch as you are
touching it already. Not sure it is worth a separate commit.
