[PATCH 15/16] page-flags: look at head page if the flag is encoded in page->mapping

From: Kirill A. Shutemov
Date: Thu Sep 24 2015 - 10:56:34 EST


PageAnon() and PageKsm() look at lower bits of page->mapping to check if
the page is Anon or KSM. page->mapping can be overloaded in tail pages.

Let's always look at head page to avoid false-positives.
