I did it with caution because two things I'm not sure: either
is_pci_p2pdma_page() or is_longterm_pinnable_page() inside, both calls
is_zone_device_page() on the page*.
But I just noticed try_grab_folio() is also used in gup_pte_range() where
the thp can be pte mapped, so I assume we at least need that to handle tail
page well.
Do we perhaps need the compound_head() in try_grab_folio() as a separate
patch? Or maybe I was wrong on is_zone_device_page()?

Will do.
