We want to make sure the rcu lock is held while using
page_memcg_rcu(). But having a WARN_ON_ONCE() in page_memcg_rcu() when
!CONFIG_MEMCG is superfluous because of the following legit use case:
memcg = lock_page_memcg(page1)
(rcu_read_lock() if CONFIG_MEMCG=y)
do something to page1
if (page_memcg_rcu(page2) == memcg)
do something to page2 too as it cannot be migrated away from the
memcg either.
unlock_page_memcg(page1)
(rcu_read_unlock() if CONFIG_MEMCG=y)
This patch removes the WARN_ON_ONCE() from page_memcg_rcu() for the
!CONFIG_MEMCG case.
