[PATCH 3/8] mm: handle PTE-mapped tail pages in gerneric fast gup implementaiton

commit 7aef4172c7957d7e65fc172be4c99becaef855d4 upstream.

With new refcounting we are going to see THP tail pages mapped with PTE.
Generic fast GUP rely on page_cache_get_speculative() to obtain
reference on page. page_cache_get_speculative() always fails on tail
pages, because ->_count on tail pages is always zero.

Let's handle tail pages in gup_pte_range().

New split_huge_page() will rely on migration entries to freeze page's
counts. Recheck PTE value after page_cache_get_speculative() on head
page should be enough to serialize against split.
