So, funny thing, page_mapcount() was always wrong here.  We have two
callers, do_huge_pmd_numa_page() and do_numa_page().  do_numa_page()
has a check for PageCompound() (and /* TODO: handle PTE-mapped THP */).
do_huge_pmd_numa_page() returns pfn_to_page(), after it got the pfn
fromm pmd_pfn(pmd).

That makes folio_estimated_sharers() an improvement, possibly even
a bugfix.  Also, we should look at removing the PageCompound() check
in do_numa_page().
