Subject: [PATCH] mm: Export PageHeadHuge()

Export PageHeadHuge() - it's used by folio_test_hugetlb() and thence by
such as folio_file_page() and folio_contains().  Matthew suggested I use
the first of those instead of doing the same calculation manually - but
I can't call it from a module.

Kirill suggested rearranging things to put it in a header, but that
introduces header dependencies because of where constants are defined.
