Subject: [PATCH 1/2] mm: Fix parameter passed to page_mapcount_is_type()

As the comments of page_mapcount_is_type() indicate, the parameter
passed to the function should be one more than page->__mapcount.
However, page->__mapcount (equivalent to page->page_type) is passed to
the function by commit 4ffca5a96678 ("mm: support only one page_type per
page") where page_type_has_type() is replaced by page_mapcount_is_type(),
but the parameter isn't adjusted.

Fix the parameter passed to page_mapcount_is_type() to be (page->__mapcount
+ 1).

Fixes: 4ffca5a96678 ("mm: support only one page_type per page")
