[PATCH v2 06/20] mm: move _entire_mapcount in folio to page[2] on 32bit

Let's free up some space on 32bit in page[1] by moving the _pincount to
page[2].

Ordinary folios only use the entire mapcount with PMD mappings, so
order-1 folios don't apply. Similarly, hugetlb folios are always larger
than order-1, turning the entire mapcount essentially unused for all
order-1 folios. Moving it to order-1 folios will not change anything.

On 32bit, simply check in folio_entire_mapcount() whether we have an
order-1 folio, and return 0 in that case.

Note that THPs on 32bit are not particularly common (and we don't care
too much about performance), but we want to keep it working reliably,
because likely we want to use large folios there as well in the future,
independent of PMD leaf support.

Once we dynamically allocate "struct folio", the 32bit specifics will go
away again; even small folios could then have a pincount.
