You need to re-check compound_order() after obtaining reference to the
page. Otherwise the page could be split under you.

I still think it's suboptimal interface. It's okay to ask for PMD page,
but there's small page already caller should deal with it. Otherwise the
caller will do one additional lookup in xarray for fallback path for no
real reason.
