I don't think this will read well when added to the API documentation.
Try this:

/**
 * attach_page_private - Attach private data to a page.
 * @page: Page to attach data to.
 * @data: Data to attach to page.
 *
 * Attaching private data to a page increments the page's reference count.
 * The data must be detached before the page will be freed.

Seems to me that the opposite of "attach" is "detach", not "clear".

/**
 * detach_page_private - Detach private data from a page.
 * @page: Page to detach data from.
 *
 * Removes the data that was previously attached to the page and decrements
 * the refcount on the page.
 *
 * Return: Data that was attached to the page.
