Subject: mm/memory-failure.c: fix race with changing page more robustly
We're only intended to deal with the non-Compound page after we split thp
in memory_failure. However, the page could have changed compound pages
due to race window. If this happens, we could try again to hopefully
handle the page next round. Also remove unneeded orig_head. It's always
equal to the hpage. So we can use hpage directly and remove this
redundant one.
