Unfortunately with !CONFIG_PAGEFLAGS_EXTENDED, (!PageHead) is false, and
(PageHead) is true, for tail pages.  This breaks cache cleaning on some
ARM systems, and may cause other bugs.
So this already got committed earlier as commit ad4b3fb7ff99 ("mm: Fix
PageHead when !CONFIG_PAGEFLAGS_EXTENDED")

Sorry about the noise then, thanks.
