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

There are a bunch of inline functions involved, but I think the chain
from page_remove_rmap() back up to unmap_vmas() looks like this:

page_remove_rmap
zap_pte_range
zap_pmd_range
zap_pud_range
unmap_page_range
unmap_vmas

So in this scenario, where do the pages actually get removed from the
LRU list (assuming that they're not in use by anyone else)?

__page_cache_release
