Agreed, nothing to fix here: the try_to_unmap() callers must hold
their own reference to the page. If they did not, how could they
be sure that this is a page which is appropriate to unmap?

(Nit: we don't actually take a separate reference for the LRU list:
the page_cache_release above corresponds to the reference in the
pte which has just been removed.)
