We already force-inline page_fixed_fake_head(), page_is_fake_head()
and PageTail(), however the compiler might decide that _compound_head()
is not worthy to be inlined, because of page_fixed_fake_head().

The result is that, for example, PageAnonExclusive() now might involve
a function call when checking PageHuge(), which performs a
page_folio()->_compound_head() call. This can lead to a slight regression
of the stress-ng.clone benchmark.

This is not super-urgent to fix, but always inlining _compound_head()
seems like the obvious thing to do for this primitive, similar to the
other ones.

This change restores the slight regression and a compilation with
CONFIG_HUGETLB_PAGE_OPTIMIZE_VMEMMAP=y shows no relevant bloat [2]:
