I missed the race condition and had a wrong WARN_ON_ONCE().  I think it's hard
to hit it because
- In most cases, we hit if (is_shadow_present_pte()) because map it with large
  page, split the page on mapgpa(to-shared), merge the page on
  mapgpa(to-private-again).
  We need independent mapgpa sequence on a different GPA, but within same 2M
  range.

- To hit removed case, we need a race with 2 vcpus in addition to the above.

Anyway this will be included in the next respin.
