PageCompound() check still return true for both transparent huge pages
and hugetlbfs pages, !PageHuge(page) && PageTransHuge(page) check can
guarantee to catch the right transparent huge pages just as my old commit
e76d30e20be5fc ("mm/hwpoison: fix test for a transparent huge page").
I will send a patch to fix this.

I will send a patch to cleanup it. Thanks for your review. :)
