mm: open-code PageTail in folio_flags() and const_folio_flags()

Browse Source 
commit 4de22b2a6a upstream.

It is unsafe to call PageTail() in dump_page() as page_is_fake_head() will
almost certainly return true when called on a head page that is copied to
the stack.  That will cause the VM_BUG_ON_PGFLAGS() in const_folio_flags()
to trigger when it shouldn't.  Fortunately, we don't need to call
PageTail() here; it's fine to have a pointer to a virtual alias of the
page's flag word rather than the real page's flag word.
