[PATCH -mm 2/7] mm: thp: change __get_page_tail() to use __put_nontail_page()

[Oleg Nesterov]

__get_page_tail() can use __put_nontail_page() instead of put_page()
if it races with split_huge_page(). This is what put_compound_page()
does, so this is equally safe. And this allows us to factor out this
code later.
