mm: make page ref count overflow check tighter and more explicit commit f958d7b528b1b40c44cfda5eabe2d82760d868c3 upstream. We have a VM_BUG_ON() to check that the page reference count doesn't underflow (or get close to overflow) by checking the sign of the count. That's all fine, but we actually want to allow people to use a "get page ref unless it's already very high" helper function, and we want that one to use the sign of the page ref (without triggering this VM_BUG_ON). Change the VM_BUG_ON to only check for small underflows (or _very_ close to overflowing), and ignore overflows which have strayed into negative territory.
