mm: centralize+fix comments about compound_mapcount() in new sync_with_folio_pmd_zap()

We still mention compound_mapcount() in two comments.

Instead of simply referring to the folio mapcount in both places, let's
factor out the odd-looking PTL sync into sync_with_folio_pmd_zap(), and
add centralized documentation why this is required.

[akpm@linux-foundation.org: update comment per Matthew and David]
