I think we need to re-fetch the src_folio only if the src_addr falls
into a non-head page. Looking at the __split_huge_page(), the head
page is skipped in the last loop, so I think it should stay valid.
That said, maybe it's just an implementation detail of the
__split_huge_page() and I should not rely on that and refetch anyway?
