I think you misunderstood the code. The delete_from_lru_cache()
returning 0 means the page was on LRU and isolated from LRU
successfully now. Returning -EIO means the page was not on LRU, so it
should have at least an extra pin on it.
So MF_DELAYED means there is no other pin other than hwpoison and
swapcache which is expected, MF_FAILED means there might be extra
pins.
The has_extra_refcount() raised error then there is *unexpected* refcount.
