commit 3489dbb696 upstream.
Patch series "Fixes for hugetlb mapcount at most 1 for shared PMDs".
This issue of mapcount in hugetlb pages referenced by shared PMDs was
discussed in [1]. The following two patches address user visible behavior
caused by this issue.

This patch (of 2):
A hugetlb page will have a mapcount of 1 if mapped by multiple processes
via a shared PMD. This is because only the first process increases the
map count, and subsequent processes just add the shared PMD page to their
page table.
page_mapcount is being used to decide if a hugetlb page is shared or
private in /proc/PID/smaps. Pages referenced via a shared PMD were
incorrectly being counted as private.
To fix, check for a shared PMD if mapcount is 1. If a shared PMD is found
count the hugetlb page as shared. A new helper to check for a shared PMD
is added.
