This patch add VM_BUG_ON_PAGE() for slab page,
because _mapcount is an union with slab struct in struct page,
avoid access _mapcount if this page is a slab page.
Also remove the unneeded bracket.

I think this might theoretically trigger on the following code in 
compaction's isolate_migratepages_block():

/*
   * Migration will fail if an anonymous page is pinned in memory,
   * so avoid taking lru_lock and isolating it unnecessarily in an
   * admittedly racy check.
   */
if (!page_mapping(page) &&
     page_count(page) > page_mapcount(page))
	continue;

This is done after PageLRU() was positive, but the lru_lock might be not 
taken yet. So, there's some time window during which the page might have 
been reclaimed from LRU and become a PageSlab(page). !page_mapping(page) 
will be true in that case so it will proceed with page_mapcount(page) 
test and trigger the VM_BUG_ON.

(That test was added by DavidR year ago in commit 
119d6d59dcc0980dcd581fdadb6b2033b512a473)
