hugetlbfs was changed to allow memory failure to migrate the hugetlbfs
pages and that broke THP as split_huge_page was then called on hugetlbfs
pages too.
compound_head/order was also run unsafe on THP pages that can be splitted
at any time.
All compound_head() invocations in memory-failure.c that are run on pages
that aren't pinned and that can be freed and reused from under us (while
compound_head is running) are buggy because compound_head can return a
dangling pointer, but I'm not fixing this as this is a generic
memory-failure bug not specific to THP but it applies to hugetlbfs too, so
I can fix it later after THP is merged upstream.
