SubjectRe: [PATCH] mm: hugetlb: undo change to page mapcount in fault handler

The changelog is rather cryptic. What about something like:

Page mapcount should be updated only if we are sure that the page ends
up in the page table otherwise we would leak if we couldn't COW due to
reservations or if idx is out of bounds.

The patch itself looks correct.
