Re: [syzbot ci] mm: page_ext: add count limit to page_ext_iter_next to prevent invalid PFN access

Thankyou Yan.
i missed the post increment change from the last v2.
i am posting a v3 with pre incerement.

- if (iter->index++ >= count)
+ if (++iter->index >= count)

i think that is aligned with the fix you suggested.

Thank you
Ketan
