compound_mapcount() means another PageCompound() and compound_head(), 
which you just did. I've tried this to see the effect on a function that 
"calls" (inlines) page_mapcount() once:

-               ret += compound_mapcount(page);
+               ret += atomic_read(compound_mapcount_ptr(page)) + 1;

Well, not just THP. Any user of compound pages must make sure not to use 
PG_private_2 on the first tail page. At least where the page is going to 
be user-mapped. And same thing about fields that are in union with 
compound_mapcount. Should that be documented more prominently somewhere? 
I guess there's no such user so far, right?

-nr as we discussed on IRC.
