Subject: mm: migrate: Fix THP's mapcount on isolation

The issue is reported when removing memory through virtio_mem device.  The
transparent huge page, experienced copy-on-write fault, is wrongly
regarded as pinned.  The transparent huge page is escaped from being
isolated in isolate_migratepages_block().  The transparent huge page can't
be migrated and the corresponding memory block can't be put into offline
state.

Fix it by replacing page_mapcount() with total_mapcount().  With this, the
transparent huge page can be isolated and migrated, and the memory block
can be put into offline state.
