for context.)

I'm not sure what you mean by "unstable". Do you mean "the result is
not guaranteed to still be valid when the call returns", "the result
might not have ever been valid", or "the call might crash because the
page's state as a compound page is unstable"?

In case you mean "the result is not guaranteed to still be valid when
the call returns":
We're just collecting stats for userspace, and by the time we return
to userspace, the numbers will be outdated anyway, so that doesn't
matter.

In case you mean "the result might not have ever been valid":
Yes, even with this patch applied, in theory concurrent THP splits
could cause us to count some page mappings twice. Arguably that's not
entirely correct.

In case you mean "the call might crash because the page's state as a
compound page could concurrently change":
As long as we have our own mapping of the page, the page can't be
split, so this patch fixes that problem.
