mm/hugetlb: fix copy_hugetlb_page_range() to use ->pt_share_count
commit 59d9094df3d79 ("mm: hugetlb: independent PMD page table shared
count") introduced ->pt_share_count dedicated to hugetlb PMD share count
tracking, but omitted fixing copy_hugetlb_page_range(), leaving the
function relying on page_count() for tracking that no longer works.
When lazy page table copy for hugetlb is disabled, that is, revert commit
bcd51a3c679d ("hugetlb: lazy page table copies in fork()") fork()'ing with
hugetlb PMD sharing quickly lockup -

There are two options to resolve the potential latent issue:
1. warn against PMD sharing in copy_hugetlb_page_range(),
2. fix it.
This patch opts for the second option.
While at it, simplify the comment, the details are not actually relevant
anymore.
