May be we can improve this further?

With deferred_split_huge_page() during partial unmap we split the huge 
pmd entries but defer splitting the compound page to shrinker 
(9a982250f773cc8c76f1eee68a770b7cbf2faf78). That means we can find the 
page as huge/compound page even when the actual mapping is not.

Instead of looking at whether the page is compound or not, always walk 
the page table and find the pte shift so that we map it correctly in the
partition scoped table.
