mm: allow anon exclusive check over hugetlb tail pages
PageAnonExclusive() used to forbid tail pages for hugetlbfs, as that used to be called mostly in hugetlb specific paths and the head page was guaranteed. As we move forward towards merging hugetlb paths into generic mm, we may start to pass in tail hugetlb pages (when with cont-pte/cont-pmd huge pages) for such check. Allow it to properly fetch the head, in which case the anon-exclusiveness of the head will always represents the tail page. There's already a sign of it when we look at the GUP-fast which already contain the hugetlb processing altogether: we used to have a specific commit 5805192c7b72 ("mm/gup: handle cont-PTE hugetlb pages correctly in gup_must_unshare() via GUP-fast") covering that area. Now with this more generic change, that can also go away.
