fs/proc/task_mmu: remove per-page mapcount dependency for PM_MMAP_EXCLUSIVE (CONFIG_N...

Let's implement an alternative when per-page mapcounts in large folios are
no longer maintained -- soon with CONFIG_NO_PAGE_MAPCOUNT.

PM_MMAP_EXCLUSIVE will now be set if folio_likely_mapped_shared() is true
-- when the folio is considered "mapped shared", including when it once
was "mapped shared" but no longer is, as documented.

This might result in and under-indication of "exclusively mapped", which
is considered better than over-indicating it: under-estimating the USS
(Unique Set Size) is better than over-estimating it.

As an alternative, we could simply remove that flag with
CONFIG_NO_PAGE_MAPCOUNT completely, but there might be value to it.  So,
let's keep it like that and document the behavior.

@@ -38,6 +38,17 @@ There are four components to pagemap:
    precisely which pages are mapped (or in swap) and comparing mapped
    pages between processes.
 
+   Traditionally, bit 56 indicates that a page is mapped exactly once and bit
+   56 is clear when a page is mapped multiple times, even when mapped in the
+   same process multiple times. In some kernel configurations, the semantics
+   for pages part of a larger allocation (e.g., THP) can differ: bit 56 is set
+   if all pages part of the corresponding large allocation are *certainly*
+   mapped in the same process, even if the page is mapped multiple times in that
+   process. Bit 56 is clear when any page page of the larger allocation
+   is *maybe* mapped in a different process. In some cases, a large allocation
+   might be treated as "maybe mapped by multiple processes" even though this
+   is no longer the case.
+
    Efficient users of this interface will use ``/proc/pid/maps`` to
    determine which areas of memory are actually mapped and llseek to
    skip over unmapped regions.
