Thanks, I did not know this trick. 
Seems it can be replaced by following construction, I'll check it tomorrow 
morning.

#ifdef CONFIG_DEBUG_VM
        if (WARN_ONCE(PageSlab(page), "page must not be a Slab one")
                return -EINVAL;
#endif

I expect it should affect debug kernels only, 
fail all incorrect requests, taint the kernel and generate warning only once.
