You assumed right. On my counting approach it's necessary count all
'lockless pagetable walks', including the ones in generic code.

And, I think even without the counting approach, it was a good way
focus this 'lockless pagetable walk' routine in a single place.

Yeap, I need to better understand how the file-backed THP problem
works.
