PageAnon() always look at head page to check PAGE_MAPPING_ANON and tail page's page->mapping has just a poisoned data since commit 1c290f642101e6. If makedumpfile checks page->mapping of an compound tail page to distinguish anonymous page as usual, it must fail in newer kernel. So it's necessary to export OFFSET(page.compound_head) to avoid checking compound tail pages.
