THP's collapse_huge_page() has an understandable but ugly difference
in when its huge page is allocated: inside if NUMA but outside if not.
It's hardly surprising that the memcg failure path forgot that, freeing
the page in the non-NUMA case, then hitting a VM_BUG_ON in get_page()
(or even worse, using the freed page).
