All compound_head() invocations in memory-failure.c that are run on pages that aren't pinned and that can be freed and reused from under us (while compound_head is running) are buggy because compound_head can return a dangling pointer, but I'm not fixing this as this is a generic memory-failure bug not specific to THP but it applies to hugetlbfs too, so I can fix it later after THP is merged upstream.
