mm: optimize compound_head() by avoiding a shared page flag



The patch adds PageTail(page) and PageHead(page) to check if a page is the
head or the tail of a compound page.  This is done by masking the two bits
describing the state of a compound page and then comparing them.  So one
comparision and a branch instead of two bit checks and two branches.
