Subject: [PATCH -mm 6/7] mm: thp: introduce get_lock_thp_head()
Both __put_page_tail() and __get_page_tail() need to carefully
take a reference on page_head, take compound_lock() and recheck
PageTail(page) under this lock.
This patch extracts this code into the new helper, it will have
another user. This also means that __get_page_tail() gets the
same VM_BUG_ON() checks.
Note: this change can also help if we decide to change the locking,
perhaps it makes sense to change __split_huge_page_refcount() to
also do compound_lock/unlock(page_tail) in a loop. In this case it
would be simple to adapt this helper and its usage.
