Subject: [PATCH v2 10/12] ubifs: Fix to add refcount once page is set private

MM defined the rule [1] very clearly that once page was set with PG_private
flag, we should increment the refcount in that page, also main flows like
pageout(), migrate_page() will assume there is one additional page
reference count if page_has_private() returns true. Otherwise, we may
get a BUG in page migration:

  page:0000000080d05b9d refcount:-1 mapcount:0 mapping:000000005f4d82a8
  index:0xe2 pfn:0x14c12
  aops:ubifs_file_address_operations [ubifs] ino:8f1 dentry name:"f30e"
  flags: 0x1fffff80002405(locked|uptodate|owner_priv_1|private|node=0|
  zone=1|lastcpupid=0x1fffff)
  page dumped because: VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(page_count(page) != 0)

  kernel BUG at include/linux/page_ref.h:184!
  invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] SMP
  CPU: 3 PID: 38 Comm: kcompactd0 Not tainted 5.15.0-rc5
  RIP: 0010:migrate_page_move_mapping+0xac3/0xe70
  Call Trace:
    ubifs_migrate_page+0x22/0xc0 [ubifs]

The BUG is caused by following process:
PA(cpu 1)                           PB(cpu 2)
ubifs_write_begin
  page = grab_cache_page_write_begin
  (refcnf = 3, for page creation process)
ubifs_write_end
  SetPagePrivate(page)
  unlock_page(page)  // refcnt=3
  put_page(page)
    page_ref_dec_and_test
                                      lock(page)
                                      ...
                                      ubifs_migrate_page
                                        migrate_page_move_mapping
                                          expected_page_refs get 3
                                          (1 + mapping[1] + private[1])
                                          page_ref_freeze  // refcnt = 0
      atomic_dec_and_test(0 - 1 = -1)
                                          page_ref_unfreeze
                                          VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(-1 != 0, page)

Actually zhangjun has tried to fix this problem [2] by recalculating page
refcnt in ubifs_migrate_page(). It's better to follow MM rules [1], because
just like Kirill suggested in [2], we need to check all users of
page_has_private() helper. Like f2fs does in [3], fix it by adding/deleting
refcount when setting/clearing private for a page. BTW, according to [4],
we set 'page->private' as 1 because ubifs just simply SetPagePrivate().
And, [5] provided a common helper to set/clear page private, ubifs can
use this helper following the example of iomap, afs, btrfs, etc.

Jump [6] to find a reproducer.
