We can now read the mapcount of large folios very efficiently. Use it to improve our handling of partially-mappable folios, falling back to making a guess only in case the folio is not "obviously mapped shared". We can now better detect partially-mappable folios where the first page is not mapped as "mapped shared", reducing "false negatives"; but false negatives are still possible. While at it, fixup a wrong comment (false positive vs. false negative) for KSM folios.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
