[PATCH v2 02/14] mm/page_alloc: split prep_compound_page into head and tail subparts

From: Joao Martins <hidden>
Date: 2021-06-17 18:47:03
Also in: linux-doc, nvdimm
Subsystem: memory management, memory management - page allocator, the rest · Maintainers: Andrew Morton, Vlastimil Babka, Linus Torvalds

Split the utility function prep_compound_page() into head and tail
counterparts, and use them accordingly.

This is in preparation for sharing the storage for / deduplicating
compound page metadata.
