[PATCH 11/23] thp, mm: handle tail pages in page_cache_get_speculative()

["Kirill A. Shutemov" <kirill.shutemov@linux.intel.com>]

From: "Kirill A. Shutemov" <kirill.shutemov@linux.intel.com>

For tail pages we need to take two refcounters:
 - ->_count for its head page;
 - ->_mapcount for the tail page;

To protect against splitting we take compound lock and re-check that we
still have tail page before taking ->_mapcount reference.
If the page was split we drop ->_count reference from head page and
return 0 to indicate caller that it must retry.
