thp: set compound tail page _count to zero
Commit 70b50f94f1644 ("mm: thp: tail page refcounting fix") keeps all
page_tail->_count zero at all times. But the current kernel does not
set page_tail->_count to zero if a 1GB page is utilized. So when an
IOMMU 1GB page is used by KVM, it wil result in a kernel oops because a
tail page's _count does not equal zero.
kernel BUG at include/linux/mm.h:386!
