Subject: [PATCH v3 2/3] mm: memory-hotplug: check folio ref count first in do_migrate_range

From: Ma Wupeng <mawupeng1@...wei.com>

If a folio has an increased reference count, folio_try_get() will acquire
it, perform necessary operations, and then release it. In the case of a
poisoned folio without an elevated reference count (which is unlikely for
memory-failure), folio_try_get() will simply bypass it.

Therefore, relocate the folio_try_get() function, responsible for checking
and acquiring this reference count at first.
