[RFC 7/8] mm: remove set_page_count()
From: Pasha Tatashin
Date: Tue Oct 26 2021 - 13:39:07 EST
set_page_count() is dangerous because it resets _refcount to an
arbitrary value. Instead we now initialize _refcount to 1 only once,
and the rest of the time we are using add/dec/cmpxchg to have a
contiguous track of the counter.
Remove set_page_count() and add new tracing hooks to page_ref_init().
