We use folio_has_private() to decide whether call filemap_release_folio(),
which may call try_to_free_buffers() then. folio_has_private() return true
for both PG_private and PG_private_2. We should only call try_to_free_buffers()
for case PG_private. So we should recheck PG_private in try_to_free_buffers().

but this can only happen for a filesystem which uses both bufferheads
and PG_private_2. afaik there aren't any of those in the tree. so
this bug can't actually happen.
if you have your own filesystem that does, you need to submit it.

perhaps you could include more information, like the rest of the call
stack so we can see what filesystem is involved?

This null-ptr-deref is found by syzbot, not by my own filesystem. I review the related code and
found no other possible cause. There are lock protection all the place calling try_to_free_buffers().
So I only thought of this one possibility. I'm also trying to reproduce the problem but haven't
been successful.
If this can't actually happen, maybe I'm missing something when review the code. I'll keep trying
to see if I can reproduce the problem.
