[PATCH] mm/page_alloc: make calling prep_compound_head more reliable

[Miaohe Lin]

compound_pincount_ptr is stored at first tail page instead of second tail
page now. And if it or some other field changes again in the future, data
overwritten might happen. Calling prep_compound_head() outside the loop
to prevent such possible issue. No functional change intended.
