Besides the race pointed out by Nick, this also would break KVM
swapping with mmu notifier. mmu_notifier_invalidate_page must be
invoked before reading page_count for this to work. However the
invalidate has to be moved below the
mlock/ptep_clear_flush_young_notify, no point to get rid of sptes if
any of the spte or the pte is still young.
