mm: thp: refix false positive BUG in page_move_anon_rmap()
The VM_BUG_ON_PAGE in page_move_anon_rmap() is more trouble than it's worth: the syzkaller fuzzer hit it again. It's still wrong for some THP cases, because linear_page_index() was never intended to apply to addresses before the start of a vma. That's easily fixed with a signed long cast inside linear_page_index(); and Dmitry has tested such a patch, to verify the false positive. But why extend linear_page_index() just for this case? when the avoidance in page_move_anon_rmap() has already grown ugly, and there's no reason for the check at all (nothing else there is using address or index). Remove address arg from page_move_anon_rmap(), remove VM_BUG_ON_PAGE, remove CONFIG_DEBUG_VM PageTransHuge adjustment. And one more thing: should the compound_head(page) be done inside or outside page_move_anon_rmap()? It's usually pushed down to the lowest level nowadays (and mm/memory.c shows no other explicit use of it), so I think it's better done in page_move_anon_rmap() than by caller.
