That's

  mlock_vma_page:
    BUG_ON(!PageLocked(page));

which is odd, because:

All the calls to "try_to_unmap()" in mm/migrate.c are preceded by the pattern

        if (!trylock_page(page)) {
                 ....
                lock_page(page);
        }

where there are just a few "goto out" style cases for the "ok, we're
not going to wait for this page lock" in there.

Very odd.  Does anybody see anything I missed?
