This removes 2 calls to compound_head() and helps convert khugepaged to
use folios throughout.

Previously, if the address passed to collapse_pte_mapped_thp()
corresponded to a tail page, the scan would fail immediately. Using
filemap_lock_folio() we can get the corresponding folio back and try to
operate on the folio instead.

Hi Andrew, I've attached a fix patch addressing the syzbot issue.
It can be squashed into this patch, syzbot tested it on v2 already as
well.

Hi Vishal, only IS_ERR(folio) is enough since filemap_lock_folio won't return NULL.
