Yeah, this looks it to me. We don't grab a folio reference for the
ap->pages[] array for readahead and it tracks with Mantas's
fuse_dev_splice_write() dmesg. this patch fixed the crash for me when
I tested it yesterday:

I reran it just now with a printk by that ref drop in
fuse_try_move_page() and I'm indeed seeing that path get hit.

Not sure why fstests didn't pick this up though since splice is
enabled by default in passthrough_hp, i'll look into this next week.
