[PATCH 4/6] mm: Make compound_head const-preserving

From: Matthew Wilcox (Oracle)
Date: Fri Apr 16 2021 - 19:17:23 EST


If you pass a const pointer to compound_head(), you get a const pointer
back; if you pass a mutable pointer, you get a mutable pointer back.
Also remove an unnecessary forward definition of struct page; we're about
to dereference page->compound_head, so it must already have been defined.
