[PATCH] mm: VM_BUG_ON

Introduce a VM_BUG_ON, which is turned on with CONFIG_DEBUG_VM.  Use this
in the lightweight, inline refcounting functions; PageLRU and PageActive
checks in vmscan, because they're pretty well confined to vmscan.  And in
page allocate/free fastpaths which can be the hottest parts of the kernel
for kbuilds.

Unlike BUG_ON, VM_BUG_ON must not be used to execute statements with
side-effects, and should not be used outside core mm code.
