mm/swap.c: introduce put_[un]refcounted_compound_page helpers for splitting put_compound_page() 

Currently, put_compound_page() carefully handles tricky cases to avoid
racing with compound page releasing or splitting, which makes it quite
lenthy (about 200+ lines) and needs deep tab indention, which makes it
quite hard to follow and maintain.

This patch and the next patch refactor this function.

Based on the code skeleton of put_compound_page:

put_compound_pge:
        if !PageTail(page)
        	put head page fastpath;
		return;

        /* else PageTail */
        page_head = compound_head(page)
        if !__compound_tail_refcounted(page_head)
		put head page optimal path; <---(1)
		return;
        else
		put head page slowpath; <--- (2)
                return;

This patch introduces two helpers, put_[un]refcounted_compound_page,
handling the code path (1) and code path (2), respectively.  They both are
tagged __always_inline, thus elmiating function call overhead, making them
operating the same way as before.

They are almost copied verbatim(except one place, a "goto out_put_single"
is expanded), with some comments rephrasing.

/**
* Two special cases here: we could avoid taking compound_lock_irqsave
* and could skip the tail refcounting(in _mapcount).
*
* 1. Hugetlbfs page:
*
* PageHeadHuge will remain true until the compound page
* is released and enters the buddy allocator, and it could
* not be split by __split_huge_page_refcount().
*
* So if we see PageHeadHuge set, and we have the tail page pin,
* then we could safely put head page.
*
* 2. Slab THP page:
*
* PG_slab is cleared before the slab frees the head page, and
* tail pin cannot be the last reference left on the head page,
* because the slab code is free to reuse the compound page
* after a kfree/kmem_cache_free without having to check if
* there's any tail pin left. In turn all tail pinsmust be always
* released while the head is still pinned by the slab code
* and so we know PG_slab will be still set too.
*
* So if we see PageSlab set, and we have the tail page pin,
* then we could safely put head page.
