We already handle it properly for large folios. Let's also return "0"
for small typed folios, like page_mapcount() currently would.

Consequently, folio_mapcount() will never return negative values for
typed folios, but may return negative values for underflows.

Subject: [PATCH] !fixup: mm: make folio_mapcount() return 0 for small typed
folios

Just like page_mapcount(), let's make folio_mapcount() slightly more
efficient.
