Man, that function has a confusing name (refs vs. ref_count). :)

"ref_state" would be clearer (just what the description says).

Or better, "folio_migrate_lru_refs", because that's literally the name of the
function you use: folio_set_lru_refs.

Can we have a cleanup patch to name that consistently?
