David Hildenbrand ebb34f78d7 mm: convert folio_estimated_sharers() to folio_likely_mapped_shared()
Callers of folio_estimated_sharers() only care about "mapped shared vs. 
mapped exclusively", not the exact estimate of sharers.  Let's consolidate
and unify the condition users are checking.  While at it clarify the
semantics and extend the discussion on the fuzziness.

Use the "likely mapped shared" terminology to better express what the
(adjusted) function actually checks.

Whether a partially-mappable folio is more likely to not be partially
mapped than partially mapped is debatable.  In the future, we might be
able to improve our estimate for partially-mappable folios, though.

Note that we will now consistently detect "mapped shared" only if the
first subpage is actually mapped multiple times.  When the first subpage
is not mapped, we will consistently detect it as "mapped exclusively". 
This change should currently only affect the usage in
madvise_free_pte_range() and queue_folios_pte_range() for large folios: if
the first page was already unmapped, we would have skipped the folio.

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.
