mm: do not use page_count() without a page pin
d179e84ba ("mm: vmscan: do not use page_count without a page pin") fixed this problem in vmscan.c but same problem is in __count_immobile_pages(). I copy and paste d179e84ba's contents for description. "It is unsafe to run page_count during the physical pfn scan because compound_head could trip on a dangling pointer when reading page->first_page if the compound page is being freed by another CPU."
