not enough. as deferred_split_folio(true) won't be called if folio has been
deferred_list in __folio_remove_rmap():

        if (partially_mapped && folio_test_anon(folio) &&
            list_empty(&folio->_deferred_list))
                deferred_split_folio(folio, true);

so you will still see 0.
