mm: fix is_mem_section_removable() page_order BUG_ON check
commit 572438f9b52236bd8938b1647cc15e027d27ef55 upstream.
page_order() is called by memory hotplug's user interface to check the
section is removable or not. (is_mem_section_removable())
It calls page_order() withoug holding zone->lock.
So, even if the caller does
if (PageBuddy(page))
ret = page_order(page) ...
The caller may hit BUG_ON().
For fixing this, there are 2 choices.
1. add zone->lock.
2. remove BUG_ON().
is_mem_section_removable() is used for some "advice" and doesn't need to
be 100% accurate. This is_removable() can be called via user program..
We don't want to take this important lock for long by user's request. So,
this patch removes BUG_ON().
