Subject: mm: support page_mapcount() on page_has_type() pages
From: Matthew Wilcox (Oracle) <willy@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit fd1a745ce03e37945674c14833870a9af0882e2d upstream.
Return 0 for pages which can't be mapped. This matches how page_mapped()
works. It is more convenient for users to not have to filter out these
pages.
