That's

	VM_WARN_ON_ONCE(oldid != 0);

which was added by Deepanshu's "mm/swap_cgroup: fix kernel BUG in
swap_cgroup_record".

This patch has Fixes: 1a4e58cce84e ("mm: introduce MADV_PAGEOUT"),
which is six years old.  For some reason it has no cc:stable.

Deepanshu's patch has no reviews.

So can I please do the memcg maintainer summoning dance here?  We have a
repeatable BUG happening in mainline Linux.
