[PATCH 1/2] madvise: don't use mapcount() against large folio for sharing check

The commit
07e8c82b5eff ("madvise: convert madvise_cold_or_pageout_pte_range() to
use folios") replaced the page_mapcount() with folio_mapcount() to
check whether the folio is shared by other mapping.

But it's not correct for large folio. folio_mapcount() returns the
total mapcount of large folio which is not suitable to detect whether
the folio is shared.

Use folio_estimated_sharers() which returns a estimated number of
shares. That means it's not 100% correct. But it should be OK for
madvise case here.
