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.

When the 1st if sentence is true, you have no additional operation and
the 2nd if sentence is redundant. But I agree that the two ifs can be
logically separated. So:
