Maybe add a BUG_ON(!test_bit(PG_metapage, &page->flags)) at least for
development?

It's not clear to me that this is safe.

I think you need to add something like
kfree(mp);
mp = page_get_meta_page(page);
otherwise you're going to leak the new but unneeded metapage.

+ atomic_set(&mp->ref_cnt, 1);
+ mp->mem_container = mem;
+ mp->page = page;
+ page_assign_meta_page(page, mp);
Would it make sense to have the "mp->page = page" be part of
page_assign_meta_page() for consistency?

+ unlock_meta_page(page);

The only jump to err: is from a location where the metapage is already
unlocked. Maybe scrap err: and just do a return -ENOMEM when the
allocation fails?
+out_uncharge:
+ mem_container_uncharge(page_get_meta_page(page));
Wanting to call mem_container_uncharge() on a page and hence having to
call page_get_meta_page() seems to be more common than wanting to call
it on a meta page that you already have available. Maybe make
mem_container_uncharge() be a wrapper that take a struct page and does
something like mem_container_uncharge_mp(page_get_meta_page(page))
where mem_container_uncharge_mp() is the raw meta-page version?
