mm/hugetlb: make detecting shared pte more reliable
If the pagetables are shared, we shouldn't copy or take references. Since src could have unshared and dst shares with another vma, huge_pte_none() is thus used to determine whether dst_pte is shared. But this check isn't reliable. A shared pte could have pte none in pagetable in fact. The page count of ptep page should be checked here in order to reliably determine whether pte is shared.
