My understanding is that mapcount > folio_nr_pages(folio) can cover
order 0 folio. And also folio_entire_mapcount() can cover hugetlb (I am
not 100% sure for this one).  I am wondering whether we can drop above
two lines? Thanks.

folio_entire_mapcount() does not apply to small folios, so we must not call that for small folios.

Regarding hugetlb, subpage mapcounts are completely unused, except subpage 0 mapcount, which is now *always* negative (storing a page type) -- so there is no trusting on that value at all.

So in the end, it all looked cleanest when only special-casing on partially-mappable folios where we know the entire mapcount exists and we know that subapge mapcount 0 actually stores something reasonable (not a type).

Thanks!
