The page can be included into collapse as long as it doesn't have extra
pins (from GUP or otherwise).
Logic to check the refcound is moved to a separate function.
s/refcound/refcount
Note that the function is ready to deal with compound pages. It's
preparation for the following patch.
VM_BUG_ON_PAGE() was removed from __collapse_huge_page_copy() as the
invariant it checks is no longer valid: the source can be mapped
multiple times now.
