Subject: [PATCH 0/2] mm: rmap: merge HugeTLB mapcount logic with THPs

HugeTLB pages may soon support being mapped with PTEs. To allow for this
case, merge HugeTLB's mapcount scheme with THP's.

The first patch of this series comes from the HugeTLB high-granularity
mapping series[1], though with some updates, as the original version
was buggy[2] and incomplete.

I am sending this change as part of this smaller series in hopes that it
can be more thoroughly scrutinized.

I haven't run any THP performance tests with this series applied.
HugeTLB pages don't currently support being mapped with
`compound=false`, but this mapcount scheme will make collapsing
compound=false mappings in HugeTLB pages quite slow. This can be
optimized with future patches (likely by taking advantage of HugeTLB's
alignment guarantees).

Matthew Wilcox is working on a mapcounting scheme[3] that will avoid
the use of each subpage's mapcount. If this series is applied, Matthew's
new scheme will automatically apply to HugeTLB pages.
