If we can't call page_mapping() to get the page mapping, handle the
anon/ksm/movable bits correctly.

Hi Matthew,

I see why you did this, as otherwise the new printing won't work.

It's tricky to step lightly through the debris of corrupted page
pointer here, but how about this updated comment, to replace the one-liner
above:

		/*
		 * Corrupt page, so we cannot call page_mapping. Instead, do a
		 * safe subset of the steps that page_mapping() does. Caution:
		 * this will be misleading for tail pages, PageSwapCache pages,
		 * and potentially other situations. (See the page_mapping()
		 * implementation for what's missing here.)
		 */

Oh, and I forget to add: my only comment was just a documentation
suggestion, not critical at all, and so:

John's updated comment looks fine too.
