With fake head pages eliminated in the previous commit, remove the
supporting infrastructure:
- page_fixed_fake_head(): no longer needed to detect fake heads;
- page_is_fake_head(): no longer needed;
- page_count_writable(): no longer needed for RCU protection;
- RCU read_lock in page_ref_add_unless(): no longer needed;
This substantially simplifies compound_head() and page_ref_add_unless(),
removing both branches and RCU overhead from these hot paths.
RCU was required to serialize allocation of hugetlb page against
get_page_unless_zero() and prevent writing to read-only fake head. It is
redundant without fake heads.
See bd225530a4 ("mm/hugetlb_vmemmap: fix race with speculative PFN
walkers") for more details.
synchronize_rcu() in mm/hugetlb_vmemmap.c will be removed by a separate
patch.
