The folio refcount may be increased unexpectly through try_get_folio() by

refcount is increased by the above caller, and this can cause the page
table leaked:
Are you sure it is "leaked" ?
I assume what happens is that we end up freeing a page table without
calling its constructor. That's why page freeing code complains about
"nonzero mapcount" (overlayed by something else).

The issue may be triggered by damon, offline_page, page_idle etc. which
will increase the refcount of page table.
Right, many do have a racy folio_test_lru() check in there, that
prevents "most of the harm", but not all of them.
