[RFC 3/8] mm: Avoid using set_page_count() in set_page_recounted()

From: Pasha Tatashin
Date: Tue Oct 26 2021 - 13:38:44 EST


set_page_refcounted() converts a non-refcounted page that has
(page->_refcount == 0) into a refcounted page by setting _refcount to 1,

Use page_ref_inc_return() instead to avoid unconditionally overwriting
the _refcount value.
