mm: move call to compound_head() in release_pages()

The function is_huge_zero_page() doesn't call compound_head() to make sure
the page pointer is a head page. The call to is_huge_zero_page() in
release_pages() is made before compound_head() is called so the test would
fail if release_pages() was called with a tail page of the huge_zero_page
and put_page_testzero() would be called releasing the page.
This is unlikely to be happening in normal use or we would be seeing all
sorts of process data corruption when accessing a THP zero page.

Looking at other places where is_huge_zero_page() is called, all seem to
only pass a head page so I think the right solution is to move the call
to compound_head() in release_pages() to a point before calling
is_huge_zero_page().
