[Devel] [PATCH rh7] mm/ksm: Don't WARN if page is still mapped in remove_stable_node()

[Andrey Ryabinin]

It's possible to hit the WARN_ON_ONCE(page_mapped(page)) in
remove_stable_node() when it races with __mmput() and squeezes
in between ksm_exit() and exit_mmap().

 WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 3295 at mm/ksm.c:888 remove_stable_node+0x10c/0x150

 Call Trace:
  remove_all_stable_nodes+0x12b/0x330
  run_store+0x4ef/0x7b0
  kernfs_fop_write+0x200/0x420
  vfs_write+0x154/0x450
  ksys_write+0xf9/0x1d0
  do_syscall_64+0x99/0x510
  entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x49/0xbe

Remove the warning as there is nothing scary going on.
