If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Jane Chu commit 14967a9c7d247841b0312c48dcf8cd29e55a4cc8 upstream. commit 59d9094df3d79 ("mm: hugetlb: independent PMD page table shared count") introduced ->pt_share_count dedicated to hugetlb PMD share count tracking, but omitted fixing copy_hugetlb_page_range(), leaving the function relying on page_count() for tracking that no longer works. When lazy page table copy for hugetlb is disabled, that is, revert commit bcd51a3c679d ("hugetlb: lazy page table copies in fork()") fork()'ing with hugetlb PMD sharing quickly lockup - [ 239.446559] watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#75 stuck for 27s!

This patch opts for the second option. While at it, simplify the comment, the details are not actually relevant anymore.
