If other processes are mapping any other subpages of the hugepage, i.e. in
pte-mapped thp case, page_mapcount() will return 1 incorrectly. Then we
would discard the page while other processes are still mapping it. Fix it
by using total_mapcount() which can tell whether other processes are still
mapping it.
