When executing move_ptes, the new_pte must be NULL, otherwise it will be overwritten by the old_pte, and cause the abnormal new_pte to be leaked. In order to make this problem to be more explicit, let's add WARN_ON_ONCE when new_pte is not NULL.

We now have no expectation that this will trigger, yes? It's a sanity check that patch [1/4] is working? Perhaps VM_WARN_ON_ONCE() would be more appropriate. And maybe even a comment:
