hugetlb: simplify prep_compound_gigantic_page ref count racing code



Code in prep_compound_gigantic_page waits for a rcu grace period if it
notices a temporarily inflated ref count on a tail page.  This was due to
the identified potential race with speculative page cache references which
could only last for a rcu grace period.  This is overly complicated as
this situation is VERY unlikely to ever happen.  Instead, just quickly
return an error.

Also, only print a warning in prep_compound_gigantic_page instead of
multiple callers.
