Sorry for bringing confusion. According to my understanding, MGLRU
records how many times that vfs access this page in a range of bits
domain(LRU_REFS_MASK) in folio->flags which are not being migrated to
new_folios so far. This commit would like to do so to have the
new_folio inherit these bits from the old folio. Is it right and
worthy to do?
