[PATCH v4 3/4] mm/util.c: remove the VM_WARN_ONCE for vm_committed_as underflow check

[Feng Tang <feng.tang@intel.com>]

As is explained by Michal Hocko:

: Looking at the history, this has been added by 82f71ae4a2b8
: ("mm: catch memory commitment underflow") to have a safety check
: for issues which have been fixed. There doesn't seem to be any bug
: reports mentioning this splat since then so it is likely just
: spending cycles for a hot path (yes many people run with DEBUG_VM)
: without a strong reason.
