We already force-inline page_fixed_fake_head(), page_is_fake_head() and PageTail(), however the compiler might decide that _compound_head() is not worthy to be inlined, because of page_fixed_fake_head(). The result is that, for example, PageAnonExclusive() now might involve a function call when checking PageHuge(), which performs a page_folio()->_compound_head() call. This can lead to a slight regression of the stress-ng.clone benchmark. This is not super-urgent to fix, but always inlining _compound_head() seems like the obvious thing to do for this primitive, similar to the other ones. This change restores the slight regression and a compilation with CONFIG_HUGETLB_PAGE_OPTIMIZE_VMEMMAP=y shows no relevant bloat [2]: add/remove: 15/14 grow/shrink: 79/87 up/down: 12836/-13917 (-1081) ...
