Subject: [PATCH -mm 4/7] mm: thp: turn put_compound_page() into
	__put_page_tail()

put_page(page) calls put_compound_page() if PageCompound(), but
put_compound_page() falls back to __put_nontail_page() if the page
is non-tail.

So we can simply shift the PageTail() logic from put_compound_page()
to put_page(), and put_page() can use __put_nontail_page() otherwise.

The patch also renames put_compound_page() to __put_page_tail() to
reflect the semantics change. And this way put_page() looks more
symmetrical with get_page().
