By using a few values in the top byte, users of page_type can store up to
24 bits of additional data in page_type. It also reduces the code size as
(with replacement of READ_ONCE() with data_race()), the kernel can check
just a single byte. eg:
ffffffff811e3a79: 8b 47 30 mov 0x30(%rdi),%eax
ffffffff811e3a7c: 55 push %rbp
ffffffff811e3a7d: 48 89 e5 mov %rsp,%rbp
ffffffff811e3a80: 25 00 00 00 82 and $0x82000000,%eax
ffffffff811e3a85: 3d 00 00 00 80 cmp $0x80000000,%eax
ffffffff811e3a8a: 74 4d je ffffffff811e3ad9 <folio_mapping+0x69>
becomes:
ffffffff811e3a69: 80 7f 33 f5 cmpb $0xf5,0x33(%rdi)
ffffffff811e3a6d: 55 push %rbp
ffffffff811e3a6e: 48 89 e5 mov %rsp,%rbp
ffffffff811e3a71: 74 4d je ffffffff811e3ac0 <folio_mapping+0x60>
replacing three instructions with one.

The current folio_test_hugetlb() can be fooled by a concurrent folio split
into returning true for a folio which has never belonged to hugetlbfs.
This can't happen if the caller holds a refcount on it, but we have a few
places (memory-failure, compaction, procfs) which do not and should not
take a speculative reference.
Since hugetlb pages do not use individual page mapcounts (they are always
fully mapped and use the entire_mapcount field to record the number of
mappings), the PageType field is available now that page_mapcount()
ignores the value in this field.
In compaction and with CONFIG_DEBUG_VM enabled, the current implementation
can result in an oops, as reported by Luis. This happens since 9c5ccf2db0
("mm: remove HUGETLB_PAGE_DTOR") effectively added some VM_BUG_ON() checks
in the PageHuge() testing path.
