Commit 07e8c82b5eff ("madvise: convert madvise_cold_or_pageout_pte_range() to use folios") replaced the page_mapcount() with folio_mapcount() to check whether the folio is shared by other mapping.
It's not correct for large folio. folio_mapcount() returns the total mapcount of large folio which is not suitable to detect whether the folio is shared.
Use folio_estimated_sharers() which returns a estimated number of shares. That means it's not 100% correct. It should be OK for madvise case here.
User-visible effects is that the THP is skipped when user call madvise. But the correct behavior is THP should be split and processed then.
NOTE: this change is a temporary fix to reduce the user-visible effects before the long term fix from David is ready.
