Subject: [PATCH 1/3 fix] mm,hugetlb: use folio fields in second tail page:
 fix

Per review comment from Sidhartha: prefix folio's page_1 and page_2 with
double underscore, to underscore that they are fillers for alignment
rather than directly usable members of the union (whereas the first
"struct page page" is important for folio<->page conversions).

Per review comment from Kirill: give folio's _flags_2 and _head_2 a line
of documentation each, though both of them "Do not use" (I think _flags_1
should be enough for now, and shouldn't recommend spilling to _flags_2).
