I think so. page_mkwrite_check_truncate() is only called on pages
which belong to a particular filesystem. Only filesystems which have
the FS_LARGE_PAGES flag set will have compound pages allocated in the
page cache for their files. As filesystems are converted, they will
only see large head pages.

I'll happily put in a VM_BUG_ON(PageTail(page), page); to ensure we
don't screw that up.
