madvise:madvise_free_huge_pmd(): don't use mapcount() against large folio for sharing check
Commit fc986a38 ("mm: huge_memory: convert madvise_free_huge_pmd 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.
