A number of sanity checks are made on each page allocation and free including that the page count is zero. page_count() checks for compound pages and checks the count of the head page if true. However, in these paths, we do not care if the page is compound or not as the count of each tail page should also be zero. This patch makes two changes to the use of page_count() in the free path. It converts one check of page_count() to a VM_BUG_ON() as the count should have been unconditionally checked earlier in the free path. It also avoids checking for compound pages.
