The khugepaged_max_ptes_none can't be HPAGE_PMD_NR, it must be <=
(HPAGE_PMD_NR - 1), but MADV_COLLAPSE does ignore it.

But a closer look at the code about how to pick up the preferred node,
there seems to be a corner case for MADV_COLLAPSE.

The code tried to do some balance if several nodes have the same hit
record. Basically it does conceptually:
    * If the target_node <= last_target_node, then iterate from
last_target_node + 1 to MAX_NUMNODES (1024 on default config)
    * If the max_value == node_load[nid], then target_node = nid

So assuming the system has 2 nodes, the target_node is 0 and the
last_target_node is 1, if MADV_COLLAPSE path is hit, then it may
return 2 for target_node, but it is actually not existing (offline),
so the warn is triggered.

The below patch should be able to fix it:

The warn_on did help to catch this bug. But the reasons for removing
it still stand TBH, so we may consider to move this warn_on to the
callers which care about it?
