Looking at the code, it looks like page_remove_rmap() clears the

Nope.

I'll keep digging in the code, but does anyone know where the removal
from the LRU is supposed to happen in the above code paths?

Removal from the LRU is done from the page freeing code, on
the final free of the page.

It appears you have code somewhere that increments the reference
count on user pages and then forgets to lower it afterwards.
