David Rientjes 44fc80573c mm, hugetlb: close race when setting PageTail for gigantic pages 
Now that gigantic pages are dynamically allocatable, care must be taken to
ensure that p->first_page is valid before setting PageTail.

If this isn't done, then it is possible to race and have compound_head()
return NULL.
