Since commit d08d4e7cd6bf ("s390/mm: use full 4KB page for 2KB PTE")
_refcount field is not used for fragmented page tracking on s390 and
there is no other code left that accesses this field explicitly.

I would guess that you need to describe _pt_pad_3 instead here, just
like it is done for the other two pad members.

And most likely you need to add Andrew to "To:" so he doesn't miss
this :)
