mm: thp: optimize compound_trans_huge
Currently we don't clobber page_tail->first_page during split_huge_page, so compound_trans_head can be set to compound_head without adverse effects, and this mostly optimizes away a smp_rmb. It looks worthwhile to keep around the implementation that doesn't relay on page_tail->first_page not to be clobbered, because it would be necessary if we'll decide to enforce page->private to zero at all times whenever PG_private is not set, also for anonymous pages. For anonymous pages enforcing such an invariant doesn't matter as anonymous pages don't use page->private so we can get away with this microoptimization.
