Subject: mm: fix UP THP spin_is_locked BUGs
From: Hugh Dickins <[email protected]>
commit b9980cdcf2524c5fe15d8cbae9c97b3ed6385563 upstream.
Fix CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE=y CONFIG_SMP=n CONFIG_DEBUG_VM=y
CONFIG_DEBUG_SPINLOCK=n kernel: spin_is_locked() is then always false,
and so triggers some BUGs in Transparent HugePage codepaths.
asm-generic/bug.h mentions this problem, and provides a WARN_ON_SMP(x);
but being too lazy to add VM_BUG_ON_SMP, BUG_ON_SMP, WARN_ON_SMP_ONCE,
VM_WARN_ON_SMP_ONCE, just test NR_CPUS != 1 in the existing VM_BUG_ONs.
