I would be more specific here wrt. get_user_pages (madvise).
soft_offline_page gets called from more places besides madvise_*.

I am not sure this warrants a function.
I would probably go with "if (ref_page).." in the two corresponding places,
but not feeling strong here.

Did you see any scenario where this could happen? I understand that you are
adding this because we will leak a reference in case pfn is not valid anymore.
