If this races with page_ref_count(page) == 0, then it will return false
that a page is idle when the page is being freed.  I don't know the code
well enough to say if this is an issue or not so please let me know.

For example:
!dax_layout_is_idle_page() will return true in dax_busy_page() above
when the count is 0 and return the page.

Maybe you are sure to have at least one reference when calling this?  It
might be worth adding a comment.
