The WARN_ON here is simply incorrect. The refcount here must be at least
the mapcount, not the opposite. Each mapcount must have a corresponding
refcount, but the refcount may increase if other components grab the
folio, which is acceptable. Meanwhile, having a mapcount larger than
refcount is a real problem.

So fix the WARN_ON condition.
