[PATCH] mm: compound release fix

Browse Source 
Compound pages on SMP systems can now often be freed from pagetables via
the release_pages path.  This uses put_page_testzero which does not handle
compound pages at all.  Releasing constituent pages from process mappings
decrements their count to a large negative number and leaks the reference
at the head page - net result is a memory leak.

The problem was hidden because the debug check in put_page_testzero itself
actually did take compound pages into consideration.

Fix the bug and the debug check.
