vm_insert_page() does increment the page refcount, and just to be sure,
I've confirmed it by printing page_count(page[0].page_ptr) before and after
vm_insert_page(). It's 1 before, 2 afterwards, as expected.

Seems this has always been the case since its introduction:
a145dd411eb2 ("VM: add "vm_insert_page()" function")
