mm,thp,rmap: fix races between updates of subpages_mapcount

Commit 4b51634cd16a, introducing the COMPOUND_MAPPED bit, paid attention
to the impossibility of subpages_mapcount ever appearing negative; but did
not attend to those races in which it can momentarily appear larger than
thought possible.

These arise from how page_remove_rmap() first decrements page->_mapcount
or compound_mapcount, then, if that transition goes negative (logical 0),
decrements subpages_mapcount.  The initial decrement lets a racing
page_add_*_rmap() reincrement _mapcount or compound_mapcount immediately,
and then in rare cases its corresponding increment of subpages_mapcount
may be completed before page_remove_rmap()'s decrement.  There could even
(with increasing unlikelihood) be a series of increments intermixed with
the decrements.

In practice, checking subpages_mapcount with a temporary WARN on range,
has caught values of 0x1000000 (2*COMPOUND_MAPPED, when move_pages() was
using remove_migration_pmd()) and 0x800201 (do_huge_pmd_wp_page() using
__split_huge_pmd()): page_add_anon_rmap() racing page_remove_rmap(), as
predicted.

I certainly found it harder to reason about than when bit_spin_locked, but
the easy case gives a clue to how to handle the harder case.  The easy
case being the three !(nr & COMPOUND_MAPPED) checks, which should
obviously be replaced by (nr < COMPOUND_MAPPED) checks - to count a page
as compound mapped, even while the bit in that position is 0.

The harder case is when trying to decide how many subpages are newly
covered or uncovered, when compound map is first added or last removed:
not knowing all that racily happened between first and second atomic ops.

But the easy way to handle that, is again to count the page as compound
mapped all the while that its subpages_mapcount indicates so - ignoring
the _mapcount or compound_mapcount transition while it is on the way to
being reversed.
