Subject: [PATCH v2] 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. Besides, The page's refcount is
increased a bit earlier to avoid the page is released when the check
is executed.

Fixes: 1da2f328fa64 ("mm,thp,compaction,cma: allow THP migration for CMA allocations")
