mm/memory-failure.c: use compound_head() flags for huge pages
memory_failure() chooses a recovery action function based on the page
flags. For huge pages it uses the tail page flags which don't have
anything interesting set, resulting in:
> Memory failure: 0x9be3b4: Unknown page state
> Memory failure: 0x9be3b4: recovery action for unknown page: Failed
Instead, save a copy of the head page's flags if this is a huge page,
this means if there are no relevant flags for this tail page, we use the
head pages flags instead. This results in the me_huge_page() recovery
action being called:
> Memory failure: 0x9b7969: recovery action for huge page: Delayed
For hugepages that have not yet been allocated, this allows the hugepage
to be dequeued.
