Subject: [PATCH] page-flags: fix a crash at SetPageError(THP_SWAP)

The commit bd4c82c22c36 ("mm, THP, swap: delay splitting THP after
swapped out") supported writing THP to a swap device but forgot to
upgrade an older commit df8c94d13c7e ("page-flags: define behavior of
FS/IO-related flags on compound pages") which could trigger a crash
during THP swapping out with DEBUG_VM_PGFLAGS=y,

kernel BUG at include/linux/page-flags.h:317!

Fix by checking PF_NO_TAIL in those places instead.
