Subject: [RFC 2/3] proc: kpagecount: use snapshot_page()

Currently, the call to folio_precise_page_mapcount() from kpage_read()
can race with a folio split. When the race happens we trigger a
VM_BUG_ON_FOLIO() in folio_entire_mapcount() (see splat below).

This commit fixes this race by using snapshot_page() so that we
retreive the folio mapcount using a folio snapshot.

Splat:
