mm, dump_page: do not crash with bad compound_mapcount()
If a compound page is being split while dump_page() is being run on that page, we can end up calling compound_mapcount() on a page that is no longer compound. This leads to a crash (already seen at least once in the field), due to the VM_BUG_ON_PAGE() assertion inside compound_mapcount(). (The above is from Matthew Wilcox's analysis of Qian Cai's bug report.) A similar problem is possible, via compound_pincount() instead of compound_mapcount(). In order to avoid this kind of crash, make dump_page() slightly more robust, by providing a pair of simpler routines that don't contain assertions: head_mapcount() and head_pincount(). For debug tools, we don't want to go *too* far in this direction, but this is a simple small fix, and the crash has already been seen, so it's a good trade-off.
