Shouldn't this condition be "else if"?

The first if sentence checks whether PGDs hit to BUG_ON. And the second
if sentence checks whether the function was called after hot-removing memory.
I think that the first if sentence and the second if sentence check different
things. So I think the condition should be "if" sentence.
