try_grab_page() does the same thing as try_grab_compound_head(...,
refs=1, ...), just with a different API. So there is a lot of code
duplication there.

Change try_grab_page() to call try_grab_compound_head(), while keeping
the API contract identical for callers.

Nit: something like:

	if (!(flags & (FOLL_GET | FOLL_PIN)))
		return true;
	return try_grab_compound_head(page, 1, flags) != NULL;

would be a little easier to read.
