The MM maintains a reclaimable list of page cache tree nodes that have
gone empty (all pages evicted) except for the shadow entries reclaimed
pages leave behind. When faulting a regular page back into such a node
the code in page_cache_tree_insert() removes it from the list again:

		workingset_node_pages_inc(node);
		/*
		 * Don't track node that contains actual pages.
		 *
		 * Avoid acquiring the list_lru lock if already
		 * untracked.  The list_empty() test is safe as
		 * node->private_list is protected by
		 * mapping->tree_lock.
		 */
		if (!list_empty(&node->private_list))
			list_lru_del(&workingset_shadow_nodes,
				     &node->private_list);

The BUG_ON() triggers when we later walk the reclaimable list and find
a radix tree node that has actual pages in it. This could happen when
pages are inserted into a mapping without using add_to_page_cache and
related functions. Does that maybe ring a bell?
