This BUG is the VM_BUG_ON(!in_atomic() && !irqs_disabled()) assertion in
folio_ref_try_add_rcu() for non-SMP kernel.
The process_vm_readv() calls GUP to pin the THP. An optimization for
pinning THP instroduced by commit 57edfcfd3419 ("mm/gup: accelerate thp
gup even for "pages != NULL"") calls try_grab_folio() to pin the THP,
but try_grab_folio() is supposed to be called in atomic context for
non-SMP kernel, for example, irq disabled or preemption disabled, due to
the optimization introduced by commit e286781d5f2e ("mm: speculative
page references").
The commit efa7df3e3bb5 ("mm: align larger anonymous mappings on THP
boundaries") is not actually the root cause although it was bisected to.
It just makes the problem exposed more likely.
The follow up discussion suggested the optimization for non-SMP kernel
may be out-dated and not worth it anymore [1]. So removing the
optimization to silence the BUG.
However calling try_grab_folio() in GUP slow path actually is
unnecessary, so the following patch will clean this up.

Mitigation
==========
The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes. Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release. Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all. If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
