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.
