mm/page_alloc: split prep_compound_page into head and tail subparts

Patch series "mm, device-dax: Introduce compound pages in devmap", v7.

This series converts device-dax to use compound pages, and moves away
from the 'struct page per basepage on PMD/PUD' that is done today.

Doing so
 1) unlocks a few noticeable improvements on unpin_user_pages() and
    makes device-dax+altmap case 4x times faster in pinning (numbers
    below and in last patch)
 2) as mentioned in various other threads it's one important step
    towards cleaning up ZONE_DEVICE refcounting.

I've split the compound pages on devmap part from the rest based on
recent discussions on devmap pending and future work planned[5][6].
There is consensus that device-dax should be using compound pages to
represent its PMD/PUDs just like HugeTLB and THP, and that leads to less
specialization of the dax parts.  I will pursue the rest of the work in
parallel once this part is merged, particular the GUP-{slow,fast}
improvements [7] and the tail struct page deduplication memory savings
part[8].

To summarize what the series does:

Patch 1: Prepare hwpoisoning to work with dax compound pages.

Patches 2-3: Split the current utility function of prep_compound_page()
into head and tail and use those two helpers where appropriate to take
advantage of caches being warm after __init_single_page().  This is used
when initializing zone device when we bring up device-dax namespaces.

Patches 4-10: Add devmap support for compound pages in device-dax.
memmap_init_zone_device() initialize its metadata as compound pages, and
it introduces a new devmap property known as vmemmap_shift which
outlines how the vmemmap is structured (defaults to base pages as done
today).  The property describe the page order of the metadata
essentially.  While at it do a few cleanups in device-dax in patches
5-9.  Finally enable device-dax usage of devmap @vmemmap_shift to a
value based on its own @align property.  @vmemmap_shift returns 0 by
default (which is today's case of base pages in devmap, like fsdax or
the others) and the usage of compound devmap is optional.  Starting with
device-dax (*not* fsdax) we enable it by default.  There are a few
pinning improvements particular on the unpinning case and altmap, as
well as unpin_user_page_range_dirty_lock() being just as effective as
THP/hugetlb[0] pages.

    $ gup_test -f /dev/dax1.0 -m 16384 -r 10 -S -a -n 512 -w
    (pin_user_pages_fast 2M pages) put:~71 ms -> put:~22 ms
    [altmap]
    (pin_user_pages_fast 2M pages) get:~524ms put:~525 ms -> get: ~127ms put:~71ms

     $ gup_test -f /dev/dax1.0 -m 129022 -r 10 -S -a -n 512 -w
    (pin_user_pages_fast 2M pages) put:~513 ms -> put:~188 ms
    [altmap with -m 127004]
    (pin_user_pages_fast 2M pages) get:~4.1 secs put:~4.12 secs -> get:~1sec put:~563ms

Tested on x86 with 1Tb+ of pmem (alongside registering it with RDMA with
and without altmap), alongside gup_test selftests with dynamic dax
regions and static dax regions.  Coupled with ndctl unit tests for
dynamic dax devices that exercise all of this.  Note, for dynamic dax
regions I had to revert commit 8aa83e6395 ("x86/setup: Call
early_reserve_memory() earlier"), it is a known issue that this commit
broke efi_fake_mem=.

This patch (of 11):

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 compound page
metadata.
