mm: __delete_from_page_cache show Bad page if mapped



Commit e1534ae9 ("mm: differentiate page_mapped() from
page_mapcount() for compound pages") changed the famous
BUG_ON(page_mapped(page)) in __delete_from_page_cache() to
VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(page_mapped(page)): which gives us more info when
CONFIG_DEBUG_VM=y, but nothing at all when not.

Although it has not usually been very helpul, being hit long after the
error in question, we do need to know if it actually happens on users'
systems; but reinstating a crash there is likely to be opposed :)

In the non-debug case, pr_alert("BUG: Bad page cache") plus dump_page(),
dump_stack(), add_taint() - I don't really believe LOCKDEP_NOW_UNRELIABLE,
but that seems to be the standard procedure now.  Move that, or the
VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(), up before the deletion from tree: so that the
unNULLified page->mapping gives a little more information.

If the inode is being evicted (rather than truncated), it won't have any
vmas left, so it's safe(ish) to assume that the raised mapcount is
erroneous, and we can discount it from page_count to avoid leaking the
page (I'm less worried by leaking the occasional 4kB, than losing a
potential 2MB page with each 4kB page leaked).
