It's uncommon, but try_to_release_page is sometimes called when page->mapping is NULL (see the check for mapping further down): so its VM_BUG_ON(mapping_order(mapping)...) just causes an oops. There seem to be enough of those checks already, and no special reason to have one right here: just delete it.
