That's TestClearPageMlocked(page) which has PF_NO_TAIL.

The page dump suggests the page was freed between the check triggering,
and the page being dumped. But being on munlock's pagevec should pin the
page. So a pin/unpin mismatch somewhere, together with a race?

Moreover, a PageTail(page) shouldn't even get on the pagevec,
munlock_vma_pages_range() skips tail pages. So another race that made
the page a Tail after it was added to pagevec?

Or maybe __munlock_pagevec_fill() encountered a tail page, and since it
assumes that it can't happen, there's no check. Maybe a VM_BUG_ON_PAGE()
there would catch this earlier? Could be related to "thp: allow mlocked
THP again".

Ah, __munlock_pagevec_fill() does a get_page(), which would increase
page->count on the compound head, which could also explain the mismatch.
