Hmm, after sending previous email, I found the bug triggered with your patch.
So I updated the patch with removing the prechecks.
Thanks,

Subject: [PATCH] mm: thp: move pmd check inside ptl for freeze_page()
I found a race condition triggering VM_BUG_ON() in freeze_page(), when running
a testcase with 3 processes:
- process 1: keep writing thp,
- process 2: keep clearing soft-dirty bits from virtual address of process 1
- process 3: call migratepages for process 1,
The kernel message is like this:

I'm not sure of the full scenario of the reproduction, but my debug showed that
split_huge_pmd_address(freeze=true) returned without running main code of pmd
splitting because pmd_present(*pmd) in precheck somehow returned 0.
If this happens, the subsequent try_to_unmap() fails and returns non-zero
(because page_mapcount() still > 0), and finally VM_BUG_ON() fires.
This patch tries to fix it by prechecking pmd state inside ptl.

Diff from v2:
- don't use separate function
Diff from v1:
- passed page to __split_huge_pmd()
- dropped unnecessary !pmd_present check
- removed pmd_none check in split_huge_pmd_address_freeze because it's
effectively done in __split_huge_pmd() with ptl.
