Subject: mm: expose abnormal new_pte during move_ptes
Date: Thu, 29 May 2025 15:56:48 +0000
When executing move_ptes, the new_pte must be NULL, otherwise it will be
overwritten by the old_pte, and cause the abnormal new_pte to be leaked.
In order to make this problem to be more explicit, let's add WARN_ON_ONCE
when new_pte is not NULL.
