Oof, fatfingered send vs postpone. Here is the rest ;)

The re-lock also needs to be unconditional, or you'll get a double
unlock in the not-split case.

A brief comment would be useful:

		/* Frozen refs lock out additions, test can be lockless */

Here as well:

	/* A dead page cannot be re-added, test can be lockless */

Why is that?

And here:

	/* Stabilize page->memcg to allocate and add to the same list */

The testbot pointed this out already, but this allocation call needs
an #ifdef CONFIG_MEMCG_KMEM guard.
