Commit 0cf18e839f64 of large folio zap work broke uffd-wp. Now mm's uffd
unit test "wp-unpopulated" will trigger this WARN_ON_ONCE().

Good that I added the WARN_ON_ONCE() :)

To be explict, VM_WARN_ON_ONCE. :) And that's my guess that you didn't hit
it when you posted the series and did the tests, as I know latest distros
like Fedora dropped DEBUG_VM, so maybe you had your base config out of
there (but I normally have it irrelevant of that).

It's rather surprising that this went unnoticed for quite a while. I usually do run with DEBUG_VM, but I have a bunch of different VMs where I tests stuff, likely it was off when I ran the selftests.
