Fixed these like this instead:

 /**
- * try_to_unmap - try to remove all page table mappings to a page
- * @page: the page to get unmapped
+ * try_to_unmap - Try to remove all page table mappings to a folio.
+ * @folio: The folio to unmap.
  * @flags: action and flags
  *
  * Tries to remove all the page table entries which are mapping this
- * page, used in the pageout path.  Caller must hold the page lock.
+ * folio.  It is the caller's responsibility to check if the folio is
+ * still mapped if needed (use TTU_SYNC to prevent accounting races).
  *
- * It is the caller's responsibility to check if the page is still
- * mapped when needed (use TTU_SYNC to prevent accounting races).
+ * Context: Caller must hold the folio lock.
