Right, but the commit says it fixes page table page refcount underflow by
introducing a new field &page->pt_frag_refcount. Now we are hitting the underflow
for this pt_frag_refcount.

BTW, if I go below this commit, I don't hit the pagecount

VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(page_ref_count(page) == 0, page);

which is in pte_fragment_free() path.
