With the introduction of folios for transparent huge pages [1], we
can rely on this support to identify if a page is backed by a huge one,
saving a page table walk.

v1 -> v2:
  * Add git reference to [1] in the commit message
  * GUP always acted on the Head page under the hood. Update the commit
    message.
