It is unsafe to call PageTail() in dump_page() as page_is_fake_head()
will almost certainly return true when called on a head page that
is copied to the stack.  That will cause the VM_BUG_ON_PGFLAGS() in
const_folio_flags() to trigger when it shouldn't.  Fortunately, we don't
need to call PageTail() here; it's fine to have a pointer to a virtual
alias of the page's flag word rather than the real page's flag word.

Fixes: fae7d834c43c (mm: add __dump_folio())
