Subject: [PATCH 1/2] mm: fix bogus VM_BUG_ON_PAGE() in isolate_lru_page()

We don't care if there's a tail pages which is not on LRU. We are not
going to isolate them anyway.

Testcase:

	#include <fcntl.h>
	#include <unistd.h>
	#include <stdio.h>
	#include <sys/mman.h>
	#include <numaif.h>

	#define SIZE 0x2000

	int foo;

	int main()
	{
		int fd;
		char *p;
		unsigned long mask = 2;

		fd = open("/dev/sg0", O_RDWR);
		p = mmap(NULL, SIZE, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE, fd, 0);
		/* Faultin pages */
		foo = p[0] + p[0x1000];
		mbind(p, SIZE, MPOL_BIND, &mask, 4, MPOL_MF_MOVE | MPOL_MF_STRICT);
		return 0;
	}

MPOL_MF_STRICT makes queue_pages_test_walk() ignore !vma_megratable()
and we try to queue such pages for migration. It's good question why we
ignore !vma_megratable() for MPOL_MF_STRICT, but it's subject for a
separate patch.
