How about:

"Use try_grab_compound_head() for device-dax GUP when configured with
a compound pagemap."

"Rather than incrementing the refcount for each page, do one atomic
addition for all the pages to be pinned."

Hmm what is altmap representing here? The altmap case does not support
compound geometry, so this last test is comparing pinning this amount
of memory without compound pages where the memmap is in PMEM to the
speed *with* compound pages and the memmap in DRAM?

This looks a tad messy, and makes assumptions that upper layers are
not sending this routine multiple huge pages to map. next should be
set to the next compound page, not end.

@head is NULL here, I think you wanted to rename the result of
try_grab_compound_head() to something like pinned_head so that you
don't undo the work you did above. However I feel like there's one too
PageCompund() checks.
