Patch series "selftests/mm: split_huge_page_test: split_pte_mapped_thp
improvements", v2.

One fix for occasional failures I found while testing and a bunch of
cleanups that should make that test easier to digest.


This patch (of 2):

When checking for actual tail or head pages of a folio, we must make sure
that the KPF_COMPOUND_HEAD/KPF_COMPOUND_TAIL flag is paired with KPF_THP.

For example, if we have another large folio after our large folio in
physical memory, our "pfn_flags & (KPF_THP | KPF_COMPOUND_TAIL)" would
trigger even though it's actually a head page of the next folio.

If is_backed_by_folio() returns a wrong result, split_pte_mapped_thp() can
fail with "Some THPs are missing during mremap".

Fix it by checking for head/tail pages of folios properly.  Add
folio_tail_flags/folio_head_flags to improve readability and use these
masks also when just testing for any compound page.
