I think this patch may still break the origin meaning.

In case PageTransCompound(page) but !PageAnon(head) after this cleanup,
page_trans_compound_anon_split(page) will return 1 instead of 0 which
will cause following
PageAnon check to a compounded page.

So please just ignore this cleanup. Sorry for my noise.


Hugh,  Thank you for your review also.
