I also think that VM_DEBUG overhead isn't problem because of same
reason from Vlastimil.
Guys, please read this.

If you guys really want it, we could separate it with
CONFIG_DEBUG_CMA or CONFIG_DEBUG_RESERVE like stuff.
Otherwise, just remain in mmotm.
Wise words, those.

Yes, these checks are in a pretty hot path.  I'm inclined to make the
patch -mm (and -next) only.

Unless there's a really good reason, such as "nobody who uses CMA is
likely to be testing -next", which sounds likely :(
