The pmd_val is 0x80000004c367003. It is indeed a table entry. collapse_huge_page()
will replace page table of page granularity with block granularity. Before this replace,
it will call pmdp_collapse_flush() to clear the table pmd. In this function, the table pmd
do the check unexpectdly and trigger the BUG_ON().
