mm: remove bogus warning in copy_huge_pmd()
Sasha Levin reported the following warning being triggered
WARNING: CPU: 28 PID: 35287 at mm/huge_memory.c:887 copy_huge_pmd+0x145/ 0x3a0()
Call Trace:
copy_huge_pmd+0x145/0x3a0
copy_page_range+0x3f2/0x560
dup_mmap+0x2c9/0x3d0
dup_mm+0xad/0x150
copy_process+0xa68/0x12e0
do_fork+0x96/0x270
SyS_clone+0x16/0x20
stub_clone+0x69/0x90
This warning was introduced by "mm: numa: Avoid unnecessary disruption
of NUMA hinting during migration" for paranoia reasons but the warning
is bogus. I was thinking of parallel races between NUMA hinting faults
and forks but this warning would also be triggered by a parallel reclaim
splitting a THP during a fork. Remote the bogus warning.
