madvise:madvise_free_pte_range(): don't use mapcount() against large folio for sharing check
commit 0e0e9bd5f7b9d40fd03b70092367247d52da1db0 upstream.
Commit 98b211d6415f ("madvise: convert madvise_free_pte_range() to use a
folio") replaced the page_mapcount() with folio_mapcount() to check
whether the folio is shared by other mapping.
It's not correct for large folios. folio_mapcount() returns the total
mapcount of large folio which is not suitable to detect whether the folio
is shared.
Use folio_estimated_sharers() which returns a estimated number of shares.
That means it's not 100% correct. It should be OK for madvise case here.
User-visible effects is that the THP is skipped when user call madvise.
But the correct behavior is THP should be split and processed then.
NOTE: this change is a temporary fix to reduce the user-visible effects
before the long term fix from David is ready.
