This appears to be a product of 4b2904f3 ("mm/memcg: add missed
warning in mem_cgroup_lruvec") adding a VM_WARN_ON_ONCE() to
mem_cgroup_lruvec, which when invoked from a function other than
mem_cgroup_page_lruvec() can in fact be called with the condition
false.
If we move the check back into mem_cgroup_page_lruvec() it resolves
the issue. I enclose a simple version of this below, happy to submit
as a proper patch if this is the right approach:


diff --git a/include/linux/memcontrol.h b/include/linux/memcontrol.h
