Let's simplify and reduce code indentation. In the RMAP_LEVEL_PTE case, we
already check for nr when computing partially_mapped.

For RMAP_LEVEL_PMD, it's a bit more confusing. Likely, we don't need the
"nr" check, but we could have "nr < nr_pmdmapped" also if we stumbled
into the "/* Raced ahead of another remove and an add? */" case. So
let's simply move the nr check in there.

Note that partially_mapped is always false for small folios.

No functional change intended.

Makes sense to me. FWIW:

FWIW, I prefer moving the comment out of the one-line if block as you
originally suggested in [1].

Sorry for the late reply, crazy times here.

Let me do that and resend, thanks!
