Livelock in [1] is reported multitimes since v515, where the zero-ref
folio is repeatly found on the page cache by find_get_entry. A possible
timing sequence is proposed in [2], which can be described briefly as
the lockless xarray operation could get harmed by an illegal folio
remaining on the slot[offset]. This commit would like to protect
the xa split stuff(folio_ref_freeze and __split_huge_page) under
lruvec->lock to remove the race window.

Thread_isolate:
1. alloc_contig_range->isolate_migratepages_block isolate a certain of
pages to cc->migratepages via pfn
       (folio has refcount: 1 + n (alloc_pages, page_cache))

2. alloc_contig_range->migrate_pages->folio_ref_freeze(folio, 1 +
extra_pins) set the folio->refcnt to 0

3. alloc_contig_range->migrate_pages->xas_split split the folios to
each slot as folio from slot[offset] to slot[offset + sibs]

4. alloc_contig_range->migrate_pages->__split_huge_page->folio_lruvec_lock
failed which have the folio be failed in setting refcnt to 2

5. Thread_kswapd enter the livelock by the chain below
      rcu_read_lock();
   retry:
        find_get_entry
            folio = xas_find
            if(!folio_try_get_rcu)
                xas_reset;
            goto retry;
      rcu_read_unlock();

5'. Thread_holdlock as the lruvec->lru_lock holder could be stalled in
the same core of Thread_kswapd.
