We can now read the mapcount of large folios very efficiently. Use it to
improve our handling of partially-mappable folios, falling back
to making a guess only in case the folio is not "obviously mapped shared".

We can now better detect partially-mappable folios where the first page is
not mapped as "mapped shared", reducing "false negatives"; but false
negatives are still possible.

While at it, fixup a wrong comment (false positive vs. false negative)
for KSM folios.
