new_vma_page() is called only by page migration called from do_mbind(),
where pages to be migrated are queued into a pagelist by
queue_pages_range().  queue_pages_range() confirms that a queued page
belongs to some vma, so !vma case is not supposed to be happen.  This
patch adds BUG_ON() to catch this unexpected case.
