Why can't we place this check before the while loop and skip subtracting the
page count?

Can is_migrate_cma_page() operate on any "subpage" of a compound page? 

Here this calls is_magrate_cma_page() on the tail page of the compound page.

I'm not an expert on compound pages nor cma handling so is this ok?

It seems like you need to call is_migrate_cma_page() on each page within the
while loop?

Same comment here.
