Subject: mm/khugepaged.c: convert VM_BUG_ON() to collapse fail
khugepaged is not yet able to convert PTE-mapped huge pages back to PMD
mapped. We do not collapse such pages. See check khugepaged_scan_pmd().
But if between khugepaged_scan_pmd() and __collapse_huge_page_isolate()
somebody managed to instantiate THP in the range and then split the PMD
back to PTEs we would have a problem -- VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(PageCompound(page))
will get triggered.
It's possible since we drop mmap_sem during collapse to re-take for
write.
Replace the VM_BUG_ON() with graceful collapse fail.
