    mm/ksm: Don't WARN if page is still mapped in remove_stable_node()
    
    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 the warning as there is nothing scary going on.
