Subject: [PATCH 4.19 166/245] fuse: dont check refcount after stealing page

From: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@...hat.com>

[ Upstream commit 32f98877c57bee6bc27f443a96f49678a2cd6a50 ]

page_count() is unstable.  Unless there has been an RCU grace period
between when the page was removed from the page cache and now, a
speculative reference may exist from the page cache.
