I checked out what is going wrong here, and Liu Shixin is correct.

Commit c79c5a0a00a9 was incorrectly backported to v5.10 and
commit 70168fdc743b changees the page passed to try_to_unmap().
It now passes the tail page, and should always have passed hpage.
Please apply the patch below to v5.10 (and any other trees that
c79c5a0a00a9 got backported to).
