Is this an incremental fix?

I don't get why we have to bump refcount here? The THP won't go away 
since it is pinned by isolation. I'm supposed calling 
free_page_and_swap_cache(src_page) in each loop looks good enough to dec 
refcount for each PTE-mapped subpage.

Then calling release_pte_page() for each entry on compund_pagelist 
outside the loop to release the pin from isolation. The compound page 
would get freed via pagevec finally.
