mm/ksm: remove page_mapcount() usage in stable_tree_search()
We want to limit the use of page_mapcount() to the places where it is
absolutely necessary.
If our folio has a stable node, it is a (small) KSM folio -- see
folio_stable_node(). Let's use folio_mapcount() in stable_tree_search()
instead, which results in no functional change.
The mapcount > 1 check is a bit confusing, because that's usually a check
for page sharing. Looks like the reason is that we are guaranteed to not
exceed ksm_max_page_sharing for the tree KSM folio when merging with that.
Let's update the documentation to make that clearer.
