[PATCH 04 of 31] update futex compound knowledge

[Andrea Arcangeli <aarcange@redhat.com>]

From: Andrea Arcangeli <aarcange@redhat.com>

Futex code is smarter than most other gup_fast O_DIRECT code and knows about
the compound internals. However now doing a put_page(head_page) will not
release the pin on the tail page taken by gup-fast, leading to all sort of
refcounting bugchecks. Getting a stable head_page is a little tricky.
