page_memcg_rcu() warns on !rcu_read_lock_held() regardless of
CONFIG_MEMCG. The following legit code trips the warning when
!CONFIG_MEMCG, since lock_page_memcg() and unlock_page_memcg() are
empty for this config.

  memcg = lock_page_memcg(page1)
    (rcu_read_lock() if CONFIG_MEMCG=y)

  do something to page1

  if (page_memcg_rcu(page2) == memcg)
    do something to page2 too as it cannot be migrated away from the
    memcg either.

  unlock_page_memcg(page1)
    (rcu_read_unlock() if CONFIG_MEMCG=y)

Locking/unlocking rcu consistently for both configs is rigorous but it
also forces unnecessary locking upon users who have no interest in
CONFIG_MEMCG.

This patch removes the assertion for !CONFIG_MEMCG, because
page_memcg_rcu() has a few callers and there are no concerns regarding
their correctness at the moment.
