[PATCH -mm 2/7] mm: thp: change __get_page_tail() to use__put_nontail_page()

From: Oleg Nesterov
Date: Wed Dec 18 2013 - 14:19:26 EST


__get_page_tail() can use __put_nontail_page() instead of put_page()
if it races with split_huge_page(). This is what put_compound_page()
does, so this is equally safe. And this allows us to factor out this
code later.
