Allow mapping of tail pages of compound pages for IO or PFNMAP mapping by trying and getting ref count of its head page. For IO or PFNMAP mapping, sometimes it's backed by compound pages. KVM will just return error on mapping of tail pages of the compound pages, as ref count of the tail pages are always 0. So, rather than check and add ref count of a tail page, check and add ref count of its folio (head page) to allow mapping of the compound tail pages. This will not break the origial intention to disallow mapping of tail pages of non-compound higher order allocations as the folio of a non-compound tail page is the same as the page itself. On the other side, put_page() has already converted page to folio before putting page ref.
