_anon_rmap() coming from remove_migration_pte(). That path holds anon_vma lock, but does not hold mmap_sem: it can therefore race with a split_vma(), and in commit 5f70b962ccc2 "mmap: avoid unnecessary anon_vma lock" we just took away the anon_vma lock protection when adjusting vma->vm_end. I don't think that particular BUG_ON ever caught anything interesting, so better replace it by a comment, than reinstate the anon_vma locking.
