I tried this and it's triggered by generic/418.  The problem
is that it's called when the pagecache lock isn't held (by
invalidate_inode_pages2_range), so it's possible for xa_empty() to
return true, then a page be added to the page cache, and mapping->pages
be incremented to 1.  That seems to be what's happened here:

(gdb) p/x *(struct address_space *)0xffff88804b21b360
$2 = {host = 0xffff88804b21b200, i_pages = {xa_lock = {{rlock = {raw_lock = {{
              val = {counter = 0x0}, {locked = 0x0, pending = 0x0}, {
                locked_pending = 0x0, tail = 0x0}}}}}}, xa_flags = 0x21, 
*  xa_head = 0xffffea0001e187c0}, gfp_mask = 0x100c4a, i_mmap_writable = {
    counter = 0x0}, nr_thps = {counter = 0x0}, i_mmap = {rb_root = {
      rb_node = 0x0}, rb_leftmost = 0x0}, i_mmap_rwsem = {count = {
      counter = 0x0}, owner = {counter = 0x0}, osq = {tail = {counter = 0x0}}, 
    wait_lock = {raw_lock = {{val = {counter = 0x0}, {locked = 0x0, 
            pending = 0x0}, {locked_pending = 0x0, tail = 0x0}}}}, 
    wait_list = {next = 0xffff88804b21b3b0, prev = 0xffff88804b21b3b0}}, 
* nrpages = 0x1, writeback_index = 0x0, a_ops = 0xffffffff81c2ed60, 
  flags = 0x40, wb_err = 0x0, private_lock = {{rlock = {raw_lock = {{val = {
              counter = 0x0}, {locked = 0x0, pending = 0x0}, {
              locked_pending = 0x0, tail = 0x0}}}}}}, private_list = {
    next = 0xffff88804b21b3e8, prev = 0xffff88804b21b3e8}, private_data = 0x0}
