From: Yang Shi <shy828301@xxxxxxxxx>
Subject: mm: thp: check total_mapcount instead of page_mapcount

When debugging the bug reported by Wang Yugui [1], try_to_unmap() may
return false positive for PTE-mapped THP since page_mapcount() is used to
check if the THP is unmapped, but it just checks compound mapcount and
head page's mapcount.  If the THP is PTE-mapped and head page is not
mapped, it may return a false positive.

Use total_mapcount() instead of page_mapcount() for try_to_unmap() and do
so for the VM_BUG_ON_PAGE in split_huge_page_to_list as well.

This changes the semantics of try_to_unmap(), but I don't see there is any
use case that expects try_to_unmap() to just unmap one subpage of a huge
page.  So using page_mapcount() seems like a bug.
