The commit
07e8c82b5eff ("madvise: convert madvise_cold_or_pageout_pte_range() to
use folios") replaced the page_mapcount() with folio_mapcount() to
check whether the folio is shared by other mapping.
But it's not correct for large folio. 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. But it should be OK for
madvise case here.

Strictly speaking, this isn't a bug. But it may be ok to include it in
the same patch.

What about madvise_free_huge_pmd()? Should it be changed as well so
that it's consistent with the first change? Either change both or neither.

This is another bug fix and should be in a separate patch.

Please send two separate fixes, and then:

OK. I will drop the change for pmd.

Thanks a lot. I will drop the mapcount() change for pmd and sent to patches
for madvise_cold_or_pageout_pte_range() and madvise_free_pte_range().

I don't mind including the PMD changes. Either way works for me :)
