memory_failure_dev_pagemap() at the moment assumes base pages (e.g.
dax_lock_page()).  For pagemap with compound pages fetch the
compound_head in case we are handling a tail page memory failure.

Currently this is a nop, but in the advent of compound pages in
dev_pagemap it allows memory_failure_dev_pagemap() to keep working.
