From: Yu Zhao <yuzhao@xxxxxxxxxx> If a tail page has only two references left, one inherited from the isolation of its head and the other from lru_add_page_tail() which we are about to drop, it means this tail page was concurrently zapped. Then we can safely free it and save page reclaim or migration the trouble of trying it.
