Why is the PageTail() test added?
This function is trying to split huge pages, it traverse all the pfn, the huge page already split when we met Head page, most importantly, get_page_unless_zero() will do nothing on Tail page too.

And this?

I think this is a double check in case of page is already changed by someone else, suggested by Matthew[1]
