[PATCH v2 03/34] s390: Use pt_frag_refcount for pagetables

s390 currently uses _refcount to identify fragmented page tables.
The page table struct already has a member pt_frag_refcount used by
powerpc, so have s390 use that instead of the _refcount field as well.
This improves the safety for _refcount and the page table tracking.

This also allows us to simplify the tracking since we can once again use
the lower byte of pt_frag_refcount instead of the upper byte of _refcount.
