Thanks for your comments. This may not be a good fixup patch. The
resue patch folio_move_anon_rmap() seems to be exclusive or
_refcount = 1 folios. The fork() path seems to clear exclusive flag
in copy_page_range() --> ... --> __folio_try_dup_anon_rmap(). However,
I observed lots of orphan avcs by the above debug trace logs in
wp_page_copy(). But they may be not removed by discussing with Mika.

Thanks
