It's add_to_page_cache_lru() that sets the flag.

Basically, when a PageWorkingset (hot) page gets reclaimed, the bit is
stored in the vacated tree slot. When the entry is brought back in,
add_to_page_cache_lru() transfers it to the newly allocated page.

add_to_page_cache_lru()
  filemap_add_folio()
    __filemap_add_folio(mapping, folio, index, gfp, &shadow)
      *shadow = *slot
      *slot = folio
  if (shadow)
    workingset_refault(folio, shadow)
      folio_set_workingset()
