Whoever passes a folio to __folio_batch_add_and_move() must hold
a reference, otherwise something else would already be messed up.
If the folio is referenced, it will not be freed elsewhere, so we
can safely clear the folio's lru flag. As discussed with David
in [1], we should take the reference after testing the LRU flag,
not before.

No need to check folio_ref_count() here, because folio_get() already
does it with a better check folio_ref_zero_or_close_to_overflow().


Ah, good point, thanks!
