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.
Fixes: 0798d3c022dc ("mm: thp: avoid false positive VM_BUG_ON_PAGE in
page_move_anon_rmap()")

Of course, we could just do a patch that deletes the VM_BUG_ON_PAGE
(and CONFIG_DEBUG_VM PageTransHuge adjustment) for now, and the cleanup
afterwards - but this doesn't affect a widely used interface, or go back
many stable releases, so personally I prefer to do it all in one go.
