Is this?
page_add_new_anon_rmap:
	VM_BUG_ON_VMA(address < vma->vm_start || address >= vma->vm_end, vma)
[...]

If yes then I am not sure we can do much about the this part. BUG_ON in
an atomic context is unfortunate but the BUG_ON points out a real bug so
we shouldn't drop it because of the potential atomic context. The above
VM_BUG_ON should definitely be addressed. I thought that Vlastimil has
pointed out some issues with the khugepaged lock inconsistencies which
might lead to issues like this.
